The thirteen players whose contract were not renewed are Vijeeth Shetty, Gauranga Biswas, Arindam Ghosh, Abhishek Yadav, Bijendra Rai, Ong Lepcha, Zenith Mashangva, Sukhwinder Singh, Surkumar Singh, James Singh, Bisheshwor Singh, Chitrasen Singh and W Tomba Singh.
The contracts were for one year only, once the deal was finished they were still allowed but on paycuts but they declined and thus their contracts were not renewed.
And honestly, look at these players. A 33 year old Shetty, a less than steller Biswas, a 31 year old Ghosh, a 34 year old past it Yadav, a weak Rai, a weak Lepcha and many others who just are not going to be missed. They received their pay, they trained for a year. Now they can sign for an I-League club or get signed by an ISL club with room later.
no I-League club in their right mind would touch , Shetty ( he has Govt job with Air India I think) , Biswas is crap as is Ghosh , miles better youngsters than him
As for Yadav....please....is he a full back or a striker....
Ong Lepcha has a history of illness...and Bijendra Rai is a talent gone wasted....
As per ABP, Fed Cup will be delayed by 10-15 more days, 'on request from the participating clubs' and AIFF obliging to a legitimate request. Earlier the time gap was of 3 days(!). Which now means delayed start of both Fed Cup and I-league.
This time I-league 'may' be a 10-team affair, because the only application for direct entry has been canceled for 'technical' reasons. However, nobody would be complaining, because nobody is interested in these two tournaments and also because AIFF want to manage the schedule properly.
The whole thing is progressing well. In the next one or two seasons things will be more in control.
