Navneet Kaur has rejoined the national junior hockey camp in Lucknow after the Sports Authority of India (SAI) stepped in and asked the Indian Women Hockey Federation (IWHF) to call back the expelled player. Navneet was sent packing from the camp after she objected to the alleged advances made by national goalkeeping coach A. Edwards during the camp.
