The Indian men's national team will play three high-profile friendlies this international window, followed by matches against Panama on September 25 and Uruguay on October 6. The inclusion of these world-class players in Brazil's lineup was a result of India withdrawing from the inaugural FIFA ASEAN Cup to avoid a scheduling clash with the Brazil fixture.",
