New Delhi, July 14

Defender Varun Kumar and midfielder Simranjeet Singh are set to make their Olympics debuts after being added to India’s men’s hockey squad following the IOC’s decision to allow “alternate athletes” in team events because of the pandemic.

Defender Reena Khokhar and experienced midfielder Namita Toppo were added to the women’s side. “Now, it is an 18-member side. Though additional players, they are up for selection in every match as per IOC’s special guidelines for Tokyo 2020,” a source said. — PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
