India coach Stephen Constantine termed the forthcoming Tri-Nation series as a 'stage to try new players' where India are slated to kick off their campaign against Mauritius at the Mumbai Football Arena today.
"We're playing two games before the AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers where I can try out more players. We got one team from the Caribbean region and another from Africa.
"It's going to a tough test for us ahead of the Asian Cup qualifier," he said. The Blue Tigers are on a roll having won 13 of their last 15 matches (including one unofficial friendly match against Bhutan in 2016).
"We haven't played together since June. The ongoing camp and this tournament will help us get into the groove at the right time," Constantine added.
