India vs Tajikan Football Match Live Score Updates, CAFA Nations Cup 2025: Khalid Jamil’s time as India’s head coach begins with a game against Tajikan at the Central Asian Football Association (CAFA) Nations Cup 2025. The match will be played at the latter’s home, with the venue being the Hisor Central Stadium in Hisor, Tajikan. It comes at a time of crippling uncertainty in Indian football, with most players in the team woefully short of match time due to Indian Super League (ISL) clubs pulling out of the Durand Cup and the 2025/26 season of the league itself stuck in limbo.Story continues below this ad
Veteran striker Sunil Chhetri’s absence from the squad was among the big talking points. Chhetri had returned from international retirement during the troubled tenure of Jamil’s predecessor Manolo Marquez and it led to speculation of whether the 41-year-old is part of the new coach’s plans. Jamil, however, said that Chhetri has been left out because the CAFA Cup has no bearing on India’s qualification for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup.
The rest of the regulars are all there in the Indian team, barring those playing for Mohun Bagan Super Giant who refused to release players for the tournament. It will be interesting to see if Jamil can uncover a consent source of goals over the course of this tournament in Chhetri’s absence. A player worth looking out for in this regard would be Irfan Yadwad, with whom Jamil has worked earlier at Chennaiyin FC.
