Ryan Williams case: Can foreign-born players solve Indian football’s woes?
Australian-born footballer Ryan Williams has given up his Australian passport to take Indian citizenship and join the national team. His move has reopened a long-standing debate on whether India should rely on foreign-born players and those of Indian origin to strengthen the squad, or if this undermines the country’s grassroots development and talent pipeline.
In this episode, we discuss what this shift means for the sport in India, whether India should rope in OCIs, if the struggling national team would benefit from this change and how Indian football is coping with a stalled ISL season.
Guest: Amitabha Das Sharma, The Hindu’s sports reporter
Host: Reuben Joe Joseph
