Looking at Andrew Voerman's twitter, he is saying that is unlikely all these 18 in training squad will go to India, ie more than 5 others will be added in to make up the 23.

Next A League season doesn't start until October 19th (just under 5 months away) - so you would think all the A League guys not in Auckland now, could go to India. Doyle, Roux, Barba & Wee Mac(?). Though Voerman thinks Kosta will be having a break. Wee Mac could be trialling somewhere.
Rojas & Brockie like Lewis have had light playing loads overseas recently - so may put their hands up. Though for Brockie not that long until his South African commitments (CAF Champions League) restart in mid July.
Others that were in Spain and could come in - Nikko Boxall (Danish season only finished a few days ago), Niko Kirwan (Italian season still going?), Lewis, Tzanev, Woud, Bevan.
Others not in Spain like Kyle Adams (age 21, 1996 born), Musa (like Adams in USL), De Vries (eligible?) and Appiah must go close. As with the MLS guys their club commitments may take priority. Not a problem for Appiah, as Korean season now on a break until July.
Tyler Boyd?
I also think Michael Den Heijer (age 22, 1996 born) is worth a look. Training day to day in a Dutch club pro environment, that will be above anything in the Handy Prem.
Apparently you need to be born 1997 or younger to qualify for U23's and Tokoyo Olympic campaign.
Anyway expect 7-10 additions to Auckland training squad, for India. So 2-5 of the guys in Auckland to drop out.
Is important this AWs 'B' does perform well in India. I think is proposed this will become an annual tournament, so if it's cheap be great to be invited back next year. A close mimic to 2020 ONC Nations Cup.
