New Delhi: The Indian Senior Women\u2019s Team arrived in Kuala Lumpur today (July 27) morning to play two back to- back International Friendlies against Malaysia. Both the matches have been arranged by the All India Football Federation to provide more exposure to the Indian Senior Women\u2019s Team.<\/p>\n
The first match is slated for July 29 while the second one is to be played on July 31. The Team headed to Kuala Lumpur on the back of a 12-day Camp in Delhi. <\/p>\n
Head Coach Maymol Rocky, the first-ever Woman Coach of an Indian Senior National Team informed that the entire squad is \u201clooking forward to the two matches.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cThe two matches will provide the girls valuable match experience which will help them in the future. An International match adds to your confidence and the entire squad is looking forward to it,\u201d she said. \u201cI need to thank the AIFF for the two International Friendlies. Women\u2019s Football in India has been on a high with the inaugural edition of the Indian Women\u2019s League being a huge hit earlier this year,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat has added to the confidence of the girls as well.\u201d Striker Bala Devi, who has been declared the Captain rated Malaysia as a \u201cstrong opponent.\u201d \u201cThey are a strong team. But we need to play better than them, and we will try our best,\u201d she stated. \u201cWe have practiced very hard and are raring to go.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s nice to be training under Maymol-Ma\u2019am. Though there is always that comfort level with her, she has always been a hard task master. But we are not complaining as we understand that she wants us to be better players.\u201d \u201cThe two matches will help us immensely and I need to thank the AIFF for providing us such an exposure tour,\u201d she added. Meanwhile, Ashalata Devi has been named the vice-captain. <\/p>\n
The 22-member squad is as follows: <\/p>\n
GOALKEEPERS: Panthoi Chanu, Roshini Devi. <\/p>\n
