Key Points

Field hockey, also called hockey is an outdoor game played by two opposing teams of 11 players each.
Players use sticks curved at the striking end to hit a small, hard ball into their opponent's goal.
It is called field hockey to distinguish it from the similar game played on ice.
Rules are made by the International Federation of Hockey.
The total duration of a field hockey match is 60 minutes.
It is played in four quarters of 15 minutes each.
It consists of a goalkeeper and 10 field players.
There are five substitutes on the bench and there is no limit to the number of times a player is allowed to be substituted.
Apart from the length of the game, there are tied overtime of 5 minutes followed by a shootout.
Thus, there are 16 players including substitutes in a Hockey team but on the field only 11. Hence the correct answer is 11.
