India vs Myanmar Live streaming: With the culmination of the Indian Super League 2022-23 season last week, the Indian football team will return to international action by hosting the Tri-Nation Friendly Tournament from Wednesday (March 22).

All the matches will be played in Manipur as the Blue Tigers, who are currently World No. 106, look to gain winning momentum early on with the AFC Asian Cup coming up next year in January.

India will face World No. 94 Kyrgyzstan on March 28 in a much-tougher clash.

Their Wednesday's opponent Myanmar are currently placed 159th in the FIFA ranking and have endured a tough time in the recent past with eight losses in the last 10 games.

Sunil Chhetri-led India have played just a game in 2023 and lost it to World No. 96 Vietnam, who ran away with a 3-0 win. Back in September, India were also held to a 1-1 draw by World No. 160 Singapore.

It will be interesting how Indian players will react right after a gruelling football season with coach Igor Stimac picking up a squad with a nice blend of experienced and youth players.

Chhetri, whose club Bengaluru FC finished runners-up in ISL, will lead the team with champion Mohun Bagan's star forward Manvir Singh also featuring in the provisional squad. East Bengal's Naorem Mahesh Singh, who scored twice and assisted seven goals over 19 games, has also been selected.

Mumbai City FC's wing duo of Lallianzuala Chhangte and Bipin Singh Thounojam have also made the cut among further attacking options. Young wingers Ritwik Das (Jamshedpur FC) and Mohammad Yasir (Hyderabad FC) are also part of the provisional squad.

The midfield has several known faces in Suresh Wangjam, Brandon Fernandes, Anirudh Thapa, and Jeakson Singh while Bengaluru FC's tall midfielder Rohit Kumar was also called after an inspiring show in ISL.

The defence bears further familiar faces among centre-backs in ever-reliant Sandesh Jhingan, Anwar Ali, Chinglensana Singh and Rahul Bheke while Mehtab Singh will be hoping to make his international debut after a brilliant show with Mumbai City in ISL.

Among lateral backs, there is no new addition as Naorem Roshan Singh (right-back) and Akash Mishra (left-back) are in probably as the first-choice with Pritam Kotal (right-back) and versatile Bheke as back-ups.

Among goalkeepers, India's No. 1 Gurpreet Singh Sandhu remains Stimac's favourite while Phurba Lachenpa Tempa and Amrinder Singh are also in the provisional squad.

There was selection controversy too as Mohun Bagan goalkeeper Vishal Kaith was only included as a reserve while midfielder Anirudh Thapa had a discolour ISL season while playing for Chennaiyin out of position.

The cutthroat competition for lateral backs also saw the likes of Subhasish Bose and Ashish Rai only finding spots in the reserves despite a brilliant season. Bengaluru's emerging talent Shiva Shakti made a case for himself with six goals in debut season but was ignored for selection.
