Selection uncertainty surrounds the opener
Arunachal Pradesh are listed to face Nagaland in Ahmedabad on October 11. However, an October 9 report described a dispute within the state association that had disrupted selection and put the opening match in doubt. A confirmed cancellation or forfeiture has not been verified for this guide.
The published fixture list places their first four matches in Gujarat, across Ahmedabad, Nadiad and Anand. Their last league game is in Shillong against Meghalaya in January. Supporters should check the opening match status before making travel plans.
