Change is always good, says WC-winning hockey captain Ajit Pal on Reid’s resignation

 

New Delhi : Legendary Ajit Pal Singh feels Graham Reid’s resignation as chief coach will be good for the Indian men’s hockey team as “change” was required after the home team’s disastrous outing at the just-concluded World Cup.

Reid on Monday resigned from his position following India’s early ouster from the showpiece, jointly hosted by Rourkela and Bhubaneswar.

The 58-year-old Australian submitted his resignation to Hockey India president Dilip Tirkey, a day after the conclusion of the World Cup in Bhubaneswar, where Germany beat Belgium in a penalty shoot-out to emerge as champions.
