VIDEO – 420 Grams S01E31: Anas Edathodika recall: What it say about India’s defence?

When India’s men’s national football team coach Igor Stimac announced the list of 35 probables for the upcoming Intercontinental Cup, there was one big surprise. Central defender Anas Edathodika, who retired from international football after India’s game against Bahrain at the AFC Asian Cup in January 2019, was named in the camp.

Edathodika had established himself as a starting player under previous coach Stephen Constantine but suffered recurring injuries. His retirement left a void in the national team structure that Stimac is trying to fill.

Today 420 grams talks about the implications of this recall and what sort of message it might send to other players, particularly Adil Khan and youngsters like Anwar Ali and Narender Gahlot.
