India to play Bhutan in a warm-up match

TIL Desk Sports/The Indian national football team will play Bhutan in an unofficial away practice game on August 13 after the proposed tour of the United States of America did not materialise. The 23-member squad is presently sweating it out in a pre-season Camp in Delhi.

“We are a bit disappointed that the tour to USA didn’t happen. In such a situation it was very important for us to get a game but we managed to get one at such a short notice,” national coach Stephen Constantine was quoted as saying.

“We have a squad of 23 Players who have not trained for the last two to three months. A lot of them are youngsters and it just gives us a chance to give these boys a bit more of International experience,” he added.
