Under the tournament regulations, if India fails to confirm its participation within the next two days, the team will be excluded from the event. PVF officials are expected to release an updated schedule within the next two to three days.
Meanwhile, Turkmenistan, Sri Lanka, Kazakhstan, Bangladesh and Nepal have already confirmed their participation.
