Good, but not good enough?
Coach Ishwar Singh Brar feels the 18-year-old would have been a first-choice for the Indian mould, but is apprehensive of a career abroad.
“Coaches initially judge players from very small things like how they run, take a turn and shoot. On that count she will be the first among the bunch of players to be identified as a notch above, but she wouldn’t be able to match the European standards,” the Railways coach says, adding, “Your game is always influenced by the standards you play in. This is why the emphasis is always on the grassroots. Tanvie has started playing in India and she is among the best playing in the country, but I don’t see her playing in Europe. It’s unfortunate that she can’t play for India.”
