England’s men start their Hockey World Cup campaign on Friday with new coach Danny Kerry aiming to better their fourth-place finish four years ago.
They face defending world champions Australia as well as Ireland and China in a tough pool in Bhubaneswar, India.
Belgium and Canada kick off the tournament on Wednesday, with hosts India in action as well.
England have never won either the men’s or women’s World Cup, which is the biggest event outside of the Olympics.
And Kerry knows it will be no easy task to progress to the knockout stages.
“We have to play exceptionally well to get out of the group and beyond that we’ll see where we are,” he told BBC Sport.
“It’s about doing the job to get out of the group and then we’ll reset our goals. It’s not my style to say we’ll win it!”
