Kookaburras reveal 22-player squad for FIH Pro League in June
Australia is set to continue its preparations against some of the world’s best nations across Europe next month.
The Kookaburras have named a 22-player squad for the upcoming FIH Pro League mini-series in the United Kingdom and Belgium, with Australia set to continue its preparations against some of the world’s best nations across Europe next month.
The squad will travel to London for matches from 14–21 June before heading to Wavre, Belgium for the second stage from 23–28 June, with the tour running from 7–30 June.
Head Coach Mark Hager said the European leg of the Pro League would provide another important opportunity for the group to continue building consistency against elite international opposition.
“The Pro League in Europe is always a significant test and an important part of our development as a group,” Hager said.
“We’ve been pleased with the progression of the squad throughout the year so far and this tour gives us another opportunity to build combinations, expose players to high-pressure international hockey and continue evolving our style of play against top-ranked nations.”
The squad also welcomes the return of four experienced Kookaburras internationals, with Tim Brand, Tom Craig, Lachlan Sharp and Tim Howard all selected for the European tour. The quartet bring significant international experience and firepower back into the group as Australia continues to build momentum towards a crucial stretch of international competition in 2026.
