Amarjit Singh Kiyam was unanimously chosen as captain of the team by his teammates in a secret ballot. A captain is one who has the capability to ensure that team objectives are achieved through maximum effort. Everyone in the team looks to the captain for guidance when faced with challenging situations personally or on the field, and having been chosen collectively the decision has potential to be extremely beneficial for the team. Furthermore, he was also the one the coach, Luís Norton de Matos wanted. Jitendra Singh has been selected as the vice-captain and will lead the team in Amarjit’s absence.
