India's 2027 Asian Cup qualifier home to Hong Kong next week will go ahead, the national football body said, after players and coach Khalid Jamil were locked out of the stadium.

India great Sunil Chhetri was left out as head coach Khalid Jamil on Wednesday announced a 23-member squad of probables for the upcoming AFC Asian Cup qualifier against Bangladesh in Dhaka on November 18.

Former India player Khalid Jamil was on Friday appointed coach of the struggling national men's football team, a month after Spain's Manolo Marquez stepped down following poor results.
