Bhubaneswar: Former India hockey captain and Olympian Dilip Tirkey filed his nomination papers for the post of Hockey India president on Sunday.

The former player shared the news on his Twitter account. He said that he is committed to take Indian hockey to new heights.

“Submitted my nomination for the post of President, Hockey India with the blessings of all. I am committed to take Indian Hockey to new heights,” Tirkey tweeted.

Tirkey is one of the most beloved figures in Indian hockey. He holds the Indian record for most international appearances, with 412 caps over a 15-year-long international career.

In August this year, Hockey India appointed Ajay Nayak, former Chief Electoral Officer of Bihar, as returning officer for conducting Hockey India’s elections.

Additionally, A K Majumdar has been appointed as the Assistant Returning Officer.
