New Delhi, May 6 (IANS) The Indian senior women’s team will play two friendly matches against Uzbekistan on May 31 and June 4 in Tashkent, during the upcoming FIFA women’s international match window, the All-India Football Federation (AIFF) informed on Monday.

Head coach Langam Chaoba Devi on Monday announced a probable list of 30 players, who will join the national team camp to be held in Hyderabad from May 16.
