<p>Indian U-17 team head Coach Bibiano Fernandes has named a 23-member squad for the SAFF U-17 Championship which kicks off in Colombo on September 5, 2022.</p>



<p>“The boys have worked so hard over the months. They are excited. They are hitting the ground with high levels of intensity and motivation,” said Bibiano.</p>



<p>India begin their campaign against Bhutan on September 5. The final is slated for September 14.</p>



<p>“We believe this batch has what it takes to outdo what the previous two batches achieved. Our short-term aim is to win the SAFF U17 Championship and qualify for the AFC U17 Championships as group leaders,” the coach stated.</p>
