Oman will lock horns with India at the Maktoum Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Stadium in Dubai in an international friendly match on Thursday.
The friendly will be a preparation for the Indian side ahead of their AFC Asian Cup qualifiers, which are scheduled to take place in June. The Indian team coach Igor Stimac has named a 28-man squad for the two friendlies in Dubai.
The average age of the Indian squad is just 24, with the head coach keen to provide opportunities to the youngsters and build a squad for the future. The friendly match will prove to be crucial for the Blue Tigers as they haven't played an international game for more than a year.
Gurpreet Singh Sandhu or defender Sandesh Jhingan is expected to lead the side in the absence of Sunil Chhetri, who is recovering from COVID-19.
Oman, who are currently ranked 81st in the FIFA Rankings, will give their opponents a run for their money. The Reds last played a friendly game against Jordan on March 20 which ended in a stalemate.
They have never lost against India till date, which will boost their morale and help them continue their fine run against the Igor Stimac-coached side.
