The third place too carries prize money of $10,000.While speaking to the-aiff.com, head coach Stimac said, "We are happy and grateful that we have received another opportunity to get together and check where we actually stand at the moment. All of us are looking forward to playing the two friendly matches.

"But that is not going to deter us. We will do everything possible at the moment to keep the momentum going from the June qualifiers," Stimac said.Meanwhile, some of the boys, like Laxmikant Kattimani, Prabhsukhran Gill, Rahul Bheke, Suresh Singh and Rahim Ali, were very much in the coach's scheme of things but could not make the current list of 24 because of injuries.The list of 24 probables called for the camp:Goalkeepers: Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, Dheeraj Singh Moirangthem and Amrinder Singh.Defenders: Sandesh Jhingan, Roshan Singh Naorem, Anwar Ali, Akash Mishra, Chinglensana Singh Konsham, Harmanjot Singh Khabra and Narender.Midfielders: Liston Colaco, Muhammed Ashique Kuruniyan, Deepak Tangri, Udanta Singh Kumam, Anirudh Thapa, Brandon Fernandes, Yasir Mohammad, Jeakson Singh Thounaojam, Sahal Abdul Samad, Rahul Kannoly Praveen, Lallianzuala Chhangte and Vikram Pratap Singh.Forwards: Sunil Chhetri and Ishan Pandita.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
