Former Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs and Planning Rajeev Shukla will continue as a member of the advisory board in the third and fourth editions of the Hero Hockey India League (HIL).

The former Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman was with the HIL in the first two editions and will continue to play an important role in the league.

“It is a very proud feeling and I am committed towards continuing to put in the extra efforts for the welfare of the sport in India. Hockey is beginning to make huge inroads on the international platform again and it’s a proud moment for each and every Indian. This is the occasion to do our bit by standing by this game which has always brought us laurels in the past,” said Shukla.

“We look forward to Rajeev Shukla’s support this year and we are sure he will continue to bring to the board his huge experience which will help us make the League more successful this year, said HIL chairman Narinder Batra.

“We are excited that the Hero Hockey India League will see newer platforms of success as we intend to venture into newer avenues in terms of our marketing strategies and this will be a boost with his presence on the board.”

The third edition of the Hockey India League is scheduled to kick-start January 22, 2015.
