Indian Football coach Stimac named 35 probables for India's friendlies

NEW DELHI: India football team head coach Igor Stimac on Tuesday named a 35-member list of probables ahead of their friendlies against Oman and the United Arab Emirates, which will be held in Dubai, UAE on March 25 and March 29, respectively. Liston Colaco, Akash Mishra, and IshanPandita are among 10 first-time inclusions in the list in response to their performances in the Indian Super League (ISL) this season.

"We have kept 35 players in the list as a cushion in case any player picks up an injury during the ISL playoffs," said Stimac. The Croatian said that Brandon Fernandes, Rahul Bheke, Sahal Abdul Samad, and AsishRai do not feature in the list as they are recovering from injuries. A preparatory camp for the two games will be held in Dubai from March 15 under head coach Igor Stimac. IANS
