Another notable absentee from the team is Indian ace Mamta Kharab. Mamta Kharab missed the action in 2010 due to knee injury. She was selected in the probable list but she was not selected in the final squad of 18.
The team consists of 7 forwards, 6 midfielders, 3 defenders and 2 goalkeepers. Indian forward line will again look to Rani Rampal which has been the best player for the team in last year. In absence of Surinder Kaur, Rani Rampal, Saba Anjum and vice-captain Jasjeet Handa will have to take care of goal scoring. While Joydeep Kaur, Jaspreet Kaur and Preeti Kiro will take care of the defensive duties for the team.
