Sardar Singh is set to be picked for the Rio Olympics but there is a likelihood of the captains armband being handed to goalkeeper PR Sreejesh when Indias hockey squad is announced on Tuesday.ESPN understands that notable absentees from the 16-member mens squad will be the injured trio of defenders Birendra Lakra and Jasjit Singh Kular, and forward Dharamvir Singh. Strikers Talwinder Singh and Mandeep Singh are also likely to miss out, even though both made a good impression in Indias best-ever showing at the Champions Trophy in June, where they lost the final to Australia in a shootout.Harmanpreet Singh, who was given the best young player of the Champions Trophy award in London, and Surender Kumar are set to be rewarded for their consistent performances in recent months.The selection committee spent the maximum time deliberating on Sardar, with a section pushing for the experienced midfielder to be accommodated in the squad as a forward. However, it is learnt that he will form part of the midfield alongside Manpreet Singh, Devinder Walmiki and Chinglansana Singh.The other player whose selection is believed to have stirred a long discussion is striker Ramandeep Singh, who was not a part of the Champions Trophy squad.The squad will have only one specialist goalkeeper in Sreejesh though competition rules will allow India to carry two reserves who can replace any of the players in case of an injury.Former India goalkeeper Ashish Ballal said replacing Sardar with Sreejesh as captain could be a prudent decision, if that is indeed the case. Sardar has been distracted by too many things happening off the field, which has affected his rapport with the players, said Ballal. Sreejesh did well at the Champions Trophy, and it could be a welcome step to have him lead the team. That being said, Sardar is a world-class player and he cant be compared with anybody else in terms of his contribution to the team.Ballal said the decision not to pick Lakra -- who had just returned for the six-nations invitational event in Valencia in end-June after missing four months due to injury -could help prolong his career. Birendra is only about 70% in terms of his movement and agility, said Ballal. It helps that he has competitors for his place in defence who have been doing well. He has put so much load on his leg in the last one year, that a period of rest will allow him to continue for at least another four years.Likely squad: PR Sreejesh, Surender Kumar, Harmanpreet Singh, VR Raghunath, Rupinderpal Singh, Kothajit Singh, SK Uthappa, Manpreet Singh, Devinder Walmiki, Chinglansana Singh, Sardar Singh, SV Sunil, Akashdeep Singh, Danish Mujtaba, Nikkin Thimmaiah and Ramandeep Singh.
