Gouramangi Singh - Young defenders must play more games to establish themselves on the national stage

The former Indian national team defender wants the youngsters to take their time and experience the game before leaping towards the national team...

Former Indian team defender Gouramangi Singh believes that the fresh crop of young defenders must be given enough opportunities to prove themselves before becoming a regular in the national team.

The likes of Jamshedpur FC’s Narender Gahlot and ATK’s Sumit Rathi have attracted eyeballs with their performances for the country at the junior level and in the Indian Super League (ISL) respectively. While Gouramangi believes these players have done well, he remained hesitant in suggesting that these players are in a good position to challenge the national team mainstays.
