India U-19 head coach Luis Norton de Matos named his list of 23 for India’s campaign in the AFC U-19 Championship qualifiers to be held in Dammam, Saudi Arabia.
Matos picked his squad after a week-long camp in the Capital which is a mix of India’s FIFA U-17 World Cup squad and India’s U-19 team which played in the SAFF U-18 Championship in Bhutan.
India are scheduled to play Qatar U-19 in a friendly match in Doha on October 25 as part of their preparation for the AFC U-19 Championship qualifiers.
Besides hosts Saudi Arabia, India have been clubbed with Yemen and Turkmenistan in Group D and play their first match against Saudi Arabia on November 4.
