International hockey will return to the capital after a 10-year gap when Olympic bronze-medallists India take on world champions Germany in a two-Test bilateral series starting on Wednesday, aiming to test some new faces and extract revenge for a recent heartbreak inflicted by the visitors.<p>For the last 10 years, the capital's Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium, once considered the spiritual home of the game, has not hosted any international match.</p><p>The last game played here was the 2014 World League Final, although inter-departmental hockey has been held here occasionally. But the two Tests against the world No 2 and Paris Olympics silver-winning outfit on Wednesday and Thursday would be a perfect comeback for the sport. The two Tests hold great significance for Indian hockey, which is on an upswing following back-to-back Olympic bronze medals in Tokyo and Paris. In the French capital, the Indians, under the talismanic and in-form Harmanpreet Singh's leadership, lost 2-3 to Germany in a closely contested semifinal.</p>
