Striker Dhanraj Pillay has been named in India's hockey squad for the Athens Games, ending months of uncertainty over his chances of playing his fourth Olympics.
Pillay, 35 and India's most capped player, was controversially excluded from a list of Olympic probables in May, but was later added to anIndian training camp after pleas from across the country for his inclusion.
Regarded as the face of Indian hockey for more than a decade, Pillay was finally selected in the 16-member squad announced by the Indian Hockey Federation in Germany where India are playing a four-nations tournament.
