The Indian women’s hockey team’s outgoing coach Sjoerd Marijne on Friday said Rani Rampal and her gutsy teammates deserve more international exposure to build on their historic fourth-place finish at the Olympics and the national federation must introduce a domestic league for women to assist their growth.

Ending his stint with Indian hockey on a high, Marijne asked Hockey India to organise more high-pressure games for the women’s side on home soil as well as abroad to maintain continuity in its progress.
