The problem here is that we can't say when exactly is he ready(because he isn't under our supervision). We don't know about his positives and negatives.So,we will have to give him actual environment in order to know whether he is ready or not.<br>

The preparatory tournament against the likes of japan and Korea would be very beneficial for our boys.If India qualifies for the main tournament in all age categories ,that would mean actual progress of Indian Football.Last time we were close on every front but managed to succeed in only U-16 category and we did well in the main tournament as well.<br>
