Indian football team head coach Stephen Constantine has named a 30-man probables squad for the 2018 Intercontinental Cup, giving a chance to a number of new faces who have done well in both the Indian Super League and the I-League.
Having qualified for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup earlier this year, the Blue Tigers are set to get their preparations for the major tournament.
