Rupinder, who was named captain of the 20-member team, has injured his wrist during a training session. He will be replaced by defender Neelam Sanjeev Zess for the tournament.
Experienced defender Birender Lakra will replace Rupinder as the captain, while forward SV Sunil will step down as the vice-captain of the team.
