Drag-flicker Sandeep Singh returned to the reckoning for a berth in the national squad as he was picked among the 29 probables announced on Friday for the three-nation hockey tournament starting January 22.
Mid-fielder Pavan Lakra and young forward Bikash Topo were also named in the list. The probables will undergo a national camp in Bangalore from January 10 for the lead-up tournament to the Olympic qualifiers in Chile in March.
Carvalho said the final team will have either 22 or 24 players. Pakistan and Belgium, who have already qualified for the Beijing Olympics in August, are the other teams for the January 22-30 tournament.
The three teams will play each other twice and the top two will play the final. Sandeep Singh, who has been impressive so far in the ongoing Premier Hockey League in Chandigarh, will have to work hard to find a place in the final squad.
"A 24 or 22 member final team would be selected for the tournament after which the team will leave for Western Australia for training-cum-competition there."
