Just a quick fact. 4 teams of ISL have used U-23 GKs to fill the development player quota. So out of total 16 U-23 players in ISL (appox. some team might have more than 2 development players), 5 to 6 of them are GKs. Can anybody explain me how is that helping the development? Are we just making future GKs?
Players can still develop even above the age of 24... I am not necessarily happy with these selections (based on age) but over-23 guys can still develop.
there isn't any age as such for which u can say that a player will reach its peak. point here is some gets mature early and some of them reach at their peak a bit late. here v have a bright example of Eugenson lyndoh. right now this lad is at its peak now. sunil chetri already had a go at the scouting department last week saying that if they had scouted lyndoh earlier ( during his early age ) he could have progressed at young age and could have been a great help for the national team. scouting department should take more responsibility.

Also, Hrithik presented Adidas jerseys to Jackichand and Eugeneson if you looked closer.
