MUMBAI: Hero Indian Super League 2021-22 season will witness an increase in number of Indian players in the playing XI, as the new Coach & Player Selection Guidelines issued by ISL commercial rights holder Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL) now mandates clubs to have a minimum of seven Indian players on the field at any point of time.
An increase in number of Indian players from six (6) to seven (7) thus means a spot less for foreign players which will now be capped at a maximum of four (4).
