India have announced 15 players in the 2nd list for the National Training Camp ahead of the World Cup qualifiers in June on Tuesday (May 7).

Igor Stimac, the head coach of the Indian senior men's team, unveiled the 2nd list of 15 players for the training camp in Bhubaneswar. The training will commence on May 15.

This camp is pivotal for the team's preparation for the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026 Asian Qualifiers Round 2 matches as India looks set to compete against Kuwait and Qatar.

They will host Kuwait in Kolkata on June 6 and then play Qatar in Doha on June 11 for the final two matches of this round. After a dismal outing against Afghanistan, India's hopes for the next stage qualification are in doubt and the Blue Tigers will have to get a positive result against Kuwait to have any realistic chance for qualification.

These matches are part of Group A's fixtures, where India currently holds the second position with four points from four games. The top two teams from the group will advance to Round 3 of the qualifiers and secure a spot in the AFC Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2027.

Initially, Igor Stimac named 26-man first list for the Training Camp a few days ago, and now further 15 players have been added to the second list of probables. The first training camp will be taking place from May 10 in Bhubaneswar.
