Roundglass Hockey Academy striker Gursewak Singh has been selected for the Indian junior men’s squad for the Asian Hockey Federation’s Junior Asia Cup 2026, scheduled to be held in Moqi, China, from August 30 to September 13.
Gursewak is among the 18 players selected by Hockey India for the continental tournament, with defender Anmol Ekka named captain. Gursewak first earned recognition in the national junior setup in 2024. He was named in Hockey India’s 40-member core probable group for the junior men’s national coaching camp in June 2024, following India’s European tour in May. The tour saw the Indian junior men’s team play five matches against Belgium, Germany and Dutch club side Bredase Hockey Vereniging Push.
Gursewak also captained Roundglass Hockey Academy sides and scored four goals in the semifinal of the 1st Hockey India Junior and Sub-Junior Men Academy Championship 2023. Last month, Gursewak earned another opportunity with the Indian Junior Men’s team when he was selected for the Indian Junior Men’s Tour of Belgium 2026. The tour, held from July 5 to 18, featured matches against Austria, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands and provided the forward with further international exposure.
The tournament will bring together leading junior hockey teams from across Asia, with India looking to make a strong impression in Moqi.
