THERE is something about PR Sreejesh. He is always ebullient, seems at peace with himself and more than anything, he is shrouded in an aura of positivity. Always cheerful and articulate, Sreejesh speaks his mind. During a short conversation, he felt that his stint as coach of the junior team had been fantastic. India won the junior men's Asia Cup title beating Pakistan in the final. The first major outing, in his words, was a 'good job'.

Sreejesh said that the revival of the Hockey India League was a big step. "The league is like an international match where top players from across the world play and it is a platform where youngsters can learn and grow," Sreejesh said during a Zoom interaction on Friday. He said that like earlier editions, domestic players will benefit from it.
