Many of the 25 named probables, such as Karishma Shirvoikar, Ratanbala Devi, Sangita Basfore, and Manisha Kalyan, have been regulars in recent matches. Additionally, young players like Aveka Singh have recently joined the fray.
The India Women’s Probable Team will assemble for a national camp starting November 10 at the National Centre of Excellence in Kolkata, with FIFA Window Friendlies scheduled between November 24 and December 2.
So, why are these friendlies such a big deal? Well, they are a great way for the team to build rhythm, try out different player combinations, and see who’s performing at their best. With this team, they continue preparations after the recent friendlies in October against Iran and Nepal in Shillong.
Amit Mishra’s Take
Head Coach Crispin Chettri has made a great choice. Just look at the listing of the India Women’s Probable Team! It appears to be well-balanced, blending experienced players with emerging talent from various regions and clubs.
Undoubtedly, the India Women’s Probable Team has a strong lineup for the upcoming FIFA Window Friendlies and the crucial AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026, which is a major continental tournament scheduled for March 1–21, 2026, in Australia.
The only concern now is the compressed schedule for the national camp and league matches, which could impact physical fitness and increase the risk of injuries. Besides, everything is great, and our Blue Tigresses are ready to fight!
