I note Indian FA (AIFF) have requested NZ and SA send their ‘first’ teams as part of some agreement.
For South Africans that looks impossible as the COSAFA Cup runs, over same dates.
Also AWs will be without their MLS players as a minimum.
I guess this is why we have heard nothing for a week now. Whole thing may fall over if Indians, insist on ‘first’ team squads.
How do you politely tell someone ‘your team is pretty shark, don’t worry we will give you a good game no matter who we send. Please let us come with our kids.’
PS. Chris Wood won't be going in India if this tourney happens. His club off season with Burnley will be all too short as it is. Europa League qualifiers start in July.
