India’s preparations for the 2019 Intercontinental Cup are set to begin soon as the Blue Tigers get ready to defend the crown they won last year in Mumbai.
Then, two first-half Sunil Chhetri goals had sealed the trophy for India as they beat Kenya 2-0 in the final of the four-team tournament. New Zealand and Chinese Taipei were the two other contestants of the 2018 edition with the latter being the only Asian team apart from the hosts.
That picture has drastically been altered for the upcoming 2019 edition which will be an all Asian affair with the likes of Syria, Tajikistan and DPR Korea set to tussle it out with India.
