India has unveiled its 23-player squad for the upcoming AFC U20 Asian Cup China 2027 Qualifiers, set to take place in Tashkent from August 31 to September 6. The roster was finalized after a rigorous trial process that assessed over 100 players, commencing in Bengaluru in June. Preparatory efforts included four friendly matches earlier this month, with India securing two wins against Singapore and victories over Yemen and another draw with Yemen.
The squad saw the release of eight players from the initial 30-member list due to technical or injury-related concerns. Daniyal Makakmayum has been added to the team. To advance to the AFC U20 Asian Cup China 2027, India must secure the top position in their group or be among the seven best runners-up across the eight qualifying groups.
