Chowdhury, who has played for England’s Under-21 and Under-23 teams, decided to play for the Bangladesh senior team last December. Bangladesh is ranked 185th in the FIFA rankings. India is ranked 126th. Although they are far behind India in terms of both field and numbers, Chowdhury’s arrival is expected to give the Bangladesh team double the energy. The match is on March 25. Chowdhury, who arrived in Bangladesh the previous day, received a grand welcome.
At the same time, the Indian national team has not seen any success in the last 15 months. India last won an international match against Kuwait in November 2023. The return of superstar Sunil Chhetri, who announced his retirement from the national team, will be a boost for the Indian team.
