India will look forward to defend its title in the 2nd Asian Champions Trophy to be played on a round-robin league format at Doha, Qatar from 20-27 December 2012.
India is the defending champion as they defeated Pakistan 4-2 via penalty shootout in a nerve-wrecking final to clinch the inaugural Asian Champions Trophy Hockey Tournament played at Ordos Hockey Stadium, China in 2011.
