Khalid Jamil has named his 23-member squad for the CAFA Nations Cup, as India prepare to usher in a new era under his leadership starting August 29. The Blue Tigers will travel to Tajikistan to compete in the CAFA Nations Cup, where they have been drawn in Group B alongside hosts Tajikistan, defending champions IR Iran, and Afghanistan.
The tournament format will see the top two teams from each group progress to the play-offs, scheduled for September 8. The group runners-up will contest the third-place match in Dushanbe, while the winners will meet in the final in Tashkent.
