Indian men's hockey team will take on Japan in their opening match of the Four Nations Invitational Tournament at Tauranga in New Zealand tomorrow.
India will also play Belgium and New Zealand apart from Japan in two separate Five-Day Series. With four days of training at the Blake Park and
getting used to the conditions here, drag flicker Rupinder Pal Singh expressed confidence of a good start to the new season.
India has a good record against Japan as they had begun their successful outing in Men's Asia Cup last year with a 5-1 win against Japan.
