India coach Khalid Jamil has announced a 23-man squad for Tuesday’s AFC Asian Cup 2027 qualifier against Bangladesh in Dhaka.

The big inclusion is Ryan Williams, the Australian-born forward who recently received his Indian passport. Williams has travelled with the team but can only join the matchday squad after Football Australia issues a No Objection Certificate (NOC) and FIFA, along with the AFC, confirms his eligibility.

India trained in Bengaluru from November 6 before arriving in Dhaka on Saturday evening. The fixture carries no stakes for India, as last month’s loss to Singapore ended its qualification hopes. India currently sits bottom of Group C with two points, level with Bangladesh.

Full Squad

Goalkeepers: Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, Hrithik Tiwari, Sahil

Defenders: Akash Mishr
