Ryan Williams, who currently plays for Bengaluru FC in the Indian Super League, has previously represented Australia at the international level. The 31-year-old winger, who has Indian roots through his mother’s Anglo-Indian family from Mumbai, is awaiting final clearance from Football Australia before being officially registered to play for India.

Abneet Bharti, a 27-year-old centre-back, plays for Academia del Balompié Boliviano (ABB) in Bolivia. Bharti holds an Indian passport and has been invited to the national camp on a trial basis, where the coaching staff will assess his fit within the squad.

The inclusion of both players reflects the AIFF’s intent to widen the national team’s pool by considering Indian-origin players with experience in overseas leagues. The training camp, set to take place in Bengaluru, will prepare the team for their qualifier match scheduled in Dhaka later this month.

If cleared and selected, both Williams and Bharti could make their first appearances for India, adding international exposure and depth to the squad as preparations continue for the Asian Cup qualification campaign.
