Komal, Abhijit, Aniket not in India squad for AFC U-19 qualifiers
New Delhi, Oct 25 (IANS) India coach Luis Norton de Matos did not pick U-17 World Cup footballers Komal Thathal, Abhijit Sarkar and Aniket Jadhav in the final 23-man squad for the 2018 AFC U-19 Championship qualifiers.
Midfielder Komal, Abhijit along with forward Aniket were part of the India U-17 squad which represented the nation in the ongoing FIFA World Cup.
“Matos picked his squad after a week-long camp in the capital which is a mix of India’s U-17 World Cup squad and India’s U-19 team which played in the SAFF U-19 Championship in Bhutan,” the All India Football Federation (AIFF) said in a statement.
India, who are placed in Group D will face Saudi Arabia at the Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium in Dammam on November 4, followed by Yemen and Turkmenistan on the 6th and 8th respectively at the same venue.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
