The Indian women's hockey team will look to build on its bronze medal-winning showing in the Asia Cup when the side makes its debut in the FIH Pro League, chief coach Janneke Schopman and captain Savita said on Sunday.

India won the bronze medal in the continental tournament after beating China 2-0 in the third-place match and will open their FIH campaign against the same team. India are scheduled to play two matches against China on Monday and Tuesday in Muscat, Oman.

"We are excited to start our Pro League campaign and look to build on our performance in the Asia Cup by hopefully creating and converting our opportunities as well as having a clinical defense," Schopman said.
