NEW DELHI: Indian National Team Head Coach Igor Stimac has announced a list of 37 probables for India’s preparatory camp for the Kings Cup slated to be held in Buriram, Thailand from June 5-8, 2019.
The preparatory camp will be held in New Delhi from May 20.
Speaking to www.the-aiff.com, Stimac said: “I respected the choice of the squad which represented India in the AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019. The rest of the players have been added post my research watching Hero I-League and Hero ISL matches. I found some players quite interesting, and have summoned them to the camp.”
“I congratulate all the players, and wish them good luck,” he added. “I am eagerly waiting to land in New Delhi, and get on the task immediately. I have always cherished new challenges, and I am looking forward to coaching the Blue Tigers.”
Striker Jeje Lalpekhlua who is likely to be operated in the third week of May wasn’t considered for the camp, as was a host of other players like Halicharan Narzary (knee injury), Mandar Rao Desai (hamstring injury), Ashique Kuruniyan (knee injury), Narender Gehlot (knee injury), and Jerry Lalrinzuala.
The Kings Cup will be followed by the Hero Intercontinental Cup in July.
I thought Passi was Consti's candidate, but if he makes the cut even after Consti is out, then he must be someone else's candidate, probably Abhishek Yadav, PP or Das, or may be of FSDL.
If someone like him still populate the NT even after the change of coach, then I feel not much has changed after all. I think disillusionment is round the corner ...
It's clear from the above article that he wanted to take a look at all the players and have included the whole AFC squad . That's how Passi and German made it to the squad. Should've given Seriton a chance though.
