'Forward Edmund Lalrindika will report to the Senior India National Team camp on May 18, in place of Irfan Yadwad, who will be unavailable due to an appendix operation,' the All India Football Federation (AIFF) said in a statement on Thursday.
The Blue Tigers are scheduled to have a 10-day national camp in Kolkata, starting May 18, after which it will travel to Thailand for a friendly next month.

England Name Squad For 1st Test Vs India: Jamie Overton Returns, Gus Atkinson Ruled Out
Last Updated: England have named a 14-man squad for the first Test against India starting June 20. England have named a 14-man squad led by allrounder Ben Stokes for their first Test of a five-match series against India that gets underway from June 20. Allrounder Jamie Overton has been recalled after three years when he played the only Test of his year, against New Zealand at Headingley in 2022. However, England have been handed another major injury blow with right-arm pacer Gus Atkinson to miss the series opener due to a hamstring injury which he picked up during the one-off Test against Zimbabwe last month. England are already missing the services of fast bowlers Jofra Archer, Olly Stone and Mark Wood due to various injuries. While Archer is expected to be fit for the second Test, the duo of Stone and Wood has been ruled out of the entire series. Fast bowlers Brydon Carse and Chris Woakes have also been included in the squad while the highly-rated top-order batter Jacob Bethell is back as well. Overton scored 97 runs and took two wickets on Test debut. He did break his little finger during the series opening first ODI against West Indies last month. The series will be the first of the next ICC World Test Championship cycle. The first Test will be played at Headingley while Edgbaston hosts the second game. The third Test will be held at Lord's with the penultimate contest at Old Trafford. The fifth and final match will be at London's Oval. First Published: June 05, 2025, 14:38 IST
