Khalid Jamil, India's newly appointed head coach for football, has minimized concerns over the absence of key players in the national camp ahead of the CAFA Nations Cup. Jamil, who replaced Igor Stimac, is confident in the strength and readiness of the team despite Mohun Bagan Super Giant's refusal to release players due to non-FIFA international window schedules.
Jamil's tenure begins with a challenge as he crafts his 23-member squad from a pool of 29 athletes. Despite the apparent difficulties, Jamil lauds the dedication and attitude of the available players, citing full support from both the squad and the All India Football Federation (AIFF).
As India prepares to face tough opponents in the CAFA Nations Cup, Jamil focuses on bonding and building mental resilience. This tournament serves as a crucial precursor to the upcoming Asian Cup qualifiers, testing the team's ability to compete with stronger international adversaries.
