Group is not bad.. Even though we drew with the Saudi team 3-3 in U-16 finals, we will find out who has improved more by the time of U-19 qualifiers..easiest team in Pot 1 was Bahrain but good that we avoided Iran,Iraq,Uzbeks
Pot 2 we avoided UAE and Qatar and Pot 3 we avoided Jordan,Oman
We can beat all three. we have done that in the past in youth teams.
Yemen is always our bogey team we can put that to rest if possible .while we can test against Saudi Arabia on benchmark how far we have come since the u-16 championships.
The above said players will not be eligible to participate in AFC u19 qualifiers , as the competition is open to players born on or aftet 01.01.1999 , while arnirudh , jerry are from 1998 batch...players from current worldcup squad may get a look in.

Shanks? As in Bill Shankly?
I doubt the likes of Jerry,Anirudh,Bodo would be released by their respective clubs
