Manipur announces their 20-man squad for the qualifiers. They will play in the North-East Zone Qualifiers which will be held in Aizawl, Mizoram. Notable players in the squad include Lalit Thapa, Bishorjit Singh (somewhat notable, appeared twice on the bench for Royal Wahingdoh), Yumnam Raju (once a regular in the I-League with Churchill Brothers), Govin Singh (former India international), Jibon Singh (former India international at senior and youth levels), David Ngaihte (bursted onto the scene for Rangdajied United in 2013-14, now with FC Zalen), Seikhohau Tuboi (former Shillong Lajong captain), and Pritam Singh (former Sporting Goa player).
Tamil Nadu squad now down to 29 players, final camp to come shortly. Guys like NP Pradeep, Nallapan Mohanraj, and Kali Allaudeen are in the squad.
Jammu and Kashmir seem ambitious before the qualifiers begin.
