After the recent selection of seven Minerva Punjab FC players to the India Under-22 squad for the upcoming 2018 AFC U-23 Championship qualifiers to be held in July 2017, two more Minerva Punjab FC players namely Anirudh Thapa and Davinder Singh have now been called to join the squad in New Delhi prior to departure of the exposure tour to Singapore in preparation for the qualifiers.
Kamalpreet Singh, Kamaljit Singh, Germanpreet Singh, Manvir Singh, Sukhdev Patil, Vinit Rai and Girik Khosla had been called earlier in May to the training camp in New Delhi. Now Anirudh Thapa, who turned heads in his I-League debut with Minerva Punjab FC on loan from Chennaiyan FC and Davinder Singh, a product of the Dalbir Football Academy who has been part of Minerva’s Second Division League team since 2016 season, have been summoned to the camp.
This takes the total number of Minervans in the squad to seven. Minerva has already contributed 10 players to the India U-17 World Cup squad earlier this year and now with significant contributions to the U-23 India Squad, Minerva’s scouting and Youth Development Programs are greatly benefiting the Indian national junior teams.
