No new players made the cut. I suppose Popov will have a better idea of who the best players are when the Dhivehi League begins.

Why is dhagey in the squad? He suffered a hamstring injury on this month 15th - most of this type of injuries need to 10 to 15 days for good recovery. Nowadays 10 days is also not enough, not the minimum required days. With only ten days rest there is a high chance it may recur again. Maldives friendly is in 10 days time and by that time it will only be ten days his injury. So why is he taken to the squad.

If it's a hamstring injury, caution is certainly advisable but whether to come on or not and for how long should be decided by the Popov and Dhagey.
