That's like 5% chance if AFC decide to make changes in their qualifying format.Possible ways :-
1) Place India out of Challenge Cup forever.
2) Decide to conduct Challenge Cup only once in 4 years.
3) If they scrap AFC Challenge forever.

India decided not to play in them. We can still play in the AFC Asian Cup qualifiers this time.
