As for information about this cup. Its okayish. For me it depends on how Palestine organize it this time. Last edition (2012) they had Mauritania (Ranked 206 in FIFA) and the Tunisia U21 team play from Africa and they also had Jordan's U22s, Pakistan U22s, Vietnam U19s, Sri Lanka, Palestine "B", Indonesia, and Iraqi Kurdistan (non FIFA member) play in the tournament.

I agree but it also depends on who else Palestine are inviting. Last year they were close to getting Uzbekistan (I do not know whether it was the "A" or "B" team of the Uzbeks) and they got Indonesia and there was no mention of them being a "B" side.
If Palestine get more "A" teams into the tournament then we should send our guys because it would check off many things we need:
1) FIFA Ranking Points.
2) Matches that are away from home.
3) Hopefully matches against teams from outside the AFC.
4) Could show people that India are no pushovers anymore. We are past the AFC Challenge Cup from 2012. We are a new team and this could show it.
If not however then bring the U22 side. Either way it is great exposure and will help us in the long-run.
