Holcombe players Ollie Payne, David Ames, Phil Roper and Nick Bandurak have all been selected in the Great Britain squad for the Olympic Qualifiers in Muscat, Oman.
Paul Remington’s side will face China, Pakistan and Malaysia in Pool A, with New Zealand, Germany, Canada and Chile in Pool B.
The top-two teams from each group qualify for the semi-finals, meaning there is a chance Payne, Ames, Roper and Bandurak could face Holcombe teammate Hayden Phillips in the latter stages.
Both finalists and the winners of the bronze medal match will qualify for Paris 2024.
Great Britain’s women, meanwhile, will face Canada, Malaysia and Spain in Pool B of their Qualifiers in Valencia, Spain. Belgium, Korea, Ireland and Ukraine will compete in Pool A.
All GB matches will be shown live on BBC Sport’s digital channels in the UK.
England and GB Hockey CEO, Nick Pink, said: “We’re thrilled that BBC Sport has announced that the GB men’s and women’s matches will be shown live on their digital platforms.
“We all know the Olympic Qualifiers is a vital competition for the teams and for our community to be able to show their support and watch every moment of their journey is fantastic.
“I would like to encourage everyone to get the matches on and cheer on our teams every step of the way.”
