Indian football team head coach Igor Stimac has named a preliminary 35-man squad for the national team which will be held in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) later this month.
India will play their first friendly match against Oman on March 25 and then the second one against UAE on March 29 in Dubai. The camp and friendlies will be crucial for India coach Igor Stimac to assess his squad ahead of the upcoming World Cup qualifiers in June.
Some new faces like NorthEast United's Mashoor Sheeref, Ashutosh Mehta, Hyderabad FC's Akash Mishra and Kerala Blasters' Jeakson Singh and Rahul KP have been named by Stimac in the preliminary squad.
