The team left late on Sunday night. The series will begin with two matches against Australia A on April 26 and 27, followed by three encounters against world No. 5 ranked Australian senior team on May 1, 3, and 4 at the Perth Hockey Stadium.

Led by dynamic midfielder Salima, with experienced forward Navneet Kaur as her deputy, the 26-member squad will use the tour as a preparation ground ahead of the European leg of the Pro League, where India will start its campaign on June 7 against the Netherlands.

"We've worked really hard at the national camp in Bengaluru, and everyone is excited to take on this challenge. Playing against Australia A and the Hockeyroos will give us the chance to test our strategies and grow as a unit," Tete said ahead of the side's departure.

"This tour will help us fine-tune our performance before heading into the Pro League in Europe," she added.

The Indian team will be looking to continue the momentum from its recent FIH Pro League campaign, where it held world No.1 Netherlands to a 2-2 draw and secured a shootout bonus point in Bhubaneswar.

Vice-Captain Navneet Kaur said the team is confident and united.

"This tour is another great opportunity to push ourselves, improve on key areas like finishing and transitions, and keep building towards our bigger goals this year," she added.
