Players from Bengaluru FC and East Bengal haven&rsquo;t reported to the Camp.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>While BFC Players are preparing for their AFC Cup match, the East Bengal Players are busy in their preparations for the forthcoming Kolkata Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The camp will be hugely beneficial to the players. We have been trying to expand the squad and give opportunities to new ones and make a bigger pool of players. This is another perfect example that had we not done that, we wouldn&rsquo;t have been able to assemble Players for the Camp,&rdquo; he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Constantine has handed International debuts to 28 Players in the last 15 matches that he has been in charge for India.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t hand them debuts for the sake of doing it.
