Regular captain Ritu Ranis name is set to be missing when the Indian womens hockey squad for the Rio Olympics is announced on Tuesday.The team was able to qualify for its first Olympics in 36 years under Ritus captaincy, but sources said she had been dropped due to a lack of performance and attitude problems.ESPN has learnt that the team management felt Ritu had stopped putting enough effort into training in the build-up to the Games. It is understood that the coaches had pulled her up a few times about coming late to sessions.Former India goalkeeper Ashish Ballal said the whole situation should have been handled better, especially with a player of Ritus stature. All talented players tend to be a bit temperamental, Ballal told ESPN. Did the team management consider counselling or some other psychological help? A big player like her should have been treated better. Telling someone they have an attitude problem and that theyre getting dropped is not correct. I think theyve been unfair with her.In Ritus absence, the mantle of captaincy could fall on either Rani Rampal or Sushila Chanu. Sushila had led the team on its last tour of Australia in Ritus absence in May-June.Ritu, who made her India debut in 2006, has notched up 213 international caps, making every tournament and every national camp since the start of her career. Ritu just gives us a work-rate that is second to no one else in the world, chief coach Neil Hawgood had told ESPN in March. I think weve got to be careful with her because every game (that) she turns up (for), she gives us that performance. We need to manage her now going into the Olympics.Womens Tigers Jerseys .J. -- Seven games into a disappointing season, New York Giants defensive catalyst Jason Pierre-Paul is getting the feeling hes back.
