Need some confirmation if he's still eligible. Also there are 40-50 more players who play in lower division clubs of Scadanvia whom I have not included. Also I excluded 3-4th generation Indian origin players from South Africa, Caribbean, Mauritius, Reunion and South America

that's a huge list. big enough to send as a stand alone squad to a tournament.

IS it true that Sunny Dhaliwal has dropped his Canadian passport and is looking for a club in ISL ?

Sunny Dhaliwal has ditched his Canadian passport, has obtained an Indian passport and heading to India. He of course retains his Canadian PR, which allows him stay, work, buy property etc in Canada.

Is he good enough to even play for ISL ? He has been without a club since August 2022

Truth is he is not good enough to improve our team. he is more than welcome to try.

20 year old Indian origin Centre back Kamran Kandola was released from Wolves Reserves and is currently a free agent . Should he try his luck in the ISL ? With an OCI card , he could attain Indian citizenship in 5 years ( he has to stay here for 1 year) . 
Same case with Raj Palit , the attacking midfielder was released from Hulls U 21 team .

yeah I think of all Arjan Raikhy is the most impressive of the lot. He has played around 100+ youth games in PL2 and is awaiting a start in Leicester who are now in PL. He is 21 and would be a statement signing if we do it with current process.
