FIFA World Cup Joint Qualifiers: Indian football may have a new star amidst their camp as Inter Kashi left winger Edmund Lalrindika, who got his first call-up for the Blue Tigers during the ongoing camp, has heavily impressed during the training session with the country’s best players. The natural left-winger has heavily impressed the senior team's Head Coach, Igor Stimac with the Croatian having kept an eye on his development for the past few months.

“I got a phone call from my team Inter Kashi and they told me I’m selected in the probable squad list and congratulated me. The first thing I did was pray to God and thank him for the opportunity. All I can do is work hard, give my very best, and try to make it to the final squad (for the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers against Kuwait and Qatar),” Edmund told AIFF's official website when asked about his call-up to the national team squad.

Lalrindika heavily influenced his side’s performance this season propelling them to a solid fourth-place finish in the I-League. The young winger played every single match for Inter Kashi this season and recorded six goals and nine assists in all competitions.
