SV Sunil may have announced a break from international hockey, which has been interpreted as calling time on his international career after the 32-year-old forward was not picked for the Tokyo Olympics. The Kodagu lad has put a full stop to his international career for now, and is now looking to ply his hockey skills in the club hockey circuit.
