Alongside Bengaluru FC, Mohun Bagan's contribution to the national team underscores the importance of these two clubs in the current Indian football squad. The Kolkata football giant, Mohun Bagan, in particular, has become a powerhouse, boasting a significant number of Indian national team players in their ranks.

As the Intercontinental Cup draws near, anticipation is building among Indian football fans. With new head coach Manolo Marquez announcing his 26-man probable squad for the preparatory camp, the focus has shifted to the players who made the cut and those who missed out.

Missed:

Vishal Kaith

Made the cut:

• Liston Colaco
• Anirudh Thapa
• Asish Rao
• Subhasish Bose
• Apuia Ralte
• Sahal Abdul Samad
• Manvir Singh

The only notable absentee from the camp is Vishal Kaith, the talented Mohun Bagan goalkeeper. Despite his impressive performances for the Mariners, Kaith has struggled to secure a consistent spot in the national team lineup. His most notable appearances came in the 2018 SAFF Championship, where he featured in four games.

Since then, however, he has found it challenging to break into the squad, often being overshadowed by other goalkeepers. Despite traveling with the team on multiple occasions, Kaith remains on the fringes of the national setup and will be missing out on this camp as well.

On the other hand, several of Kaith's teammates have made it into the 26-man squad. Among the Mohun Bagan players selected are Liston Colaco, Anirudh Thapa, Asish Rao, Subhasish Bose, Apuia Ralte, Sahal Abdul Samad, and Manvir Singh.

These players have proven themselves as key figures in both club and national football and their inclusion comes as no surprise to fans and pundits alike.

As the national team prepares for the Intercontinental Cup, the spotlight will be on these players to step up and deliver strong performances. With the backing of strong clubs like Mohun Bagan and Bengaluru FC, the national team looks well-prepared to face the challenges that lie ahead.
