The Sports Authority of India (SAI), in the first phase in early June, had allowed training for only Olympic-bound athletes at its various centres.
In 2018, Chris Ciriello had joined the men's hockey team for penalty corners, but later on became an important part of the coaching staff.
SAI will also bear the cost for Srikanth's COVID-19 testing that is required to be done before he takes part in the competition.
During AFI web seminar, the president of AFI Adille Sumariwalla said they have requested the government to provide 2021 Tokyo Olympic-bound athletes with COVID-19 vaccines as soon as they as are out.
SAI said that the athletes, coaches and support staff "have to undergo RT-PCR test for COVID19, 96 hours before travelling to the centres and would be allowed to enter the centre on the production of COVID-19 negative certificate.

The SAI said that 65 of the 74 awardees will attend the first-ever virtual National Sports Awards from its centres across the country due to the pandemic.
According to SAI, the employee who tested positive on Sunday, did not come in contact with athletes and coaches residing inside the campus, which has been divided into red, orange and green zones because of the pandemic.
Three Indian Olympic probable swimmers Virdhawal Khade, Srihari Nataraj and Kushagra Rawat will resume their training early next month in Dubai.

It was found that Mandeep's blood oxygen levels were dropping below normal.
The SAI, however, said that the respective state governments where the NCOEs are situated will take the final call, keeping in mind the health and safety of athletes and coaches.
The course saw 48 coaches take part in two daily sessions across four days to take Indian football forward together as part of the AIFF's plan to guide SAI coaches.
A woman coach at the Karni Singh range tested positive for COVID-19 but SAI stated that she didn't come in contact with any of the shooters.
The boxers are set to resume their training on Monday after the end of their self-isolation period.
SAI said that the decision was taken to ensure that athletes bound for Tokyo Olympics can retain continuity in their training with the same coaches.
