Kolkata: East Bengal FC open their campaign against the Bangladesh Army Football Team (BAFT) in the second match of the day, at Kolkata’s Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK) on Sunday. Fans will be waiting with a lot of anticipation for East Bengal’s first game in the 132nd Durand Cup, against a Bangladesh Army Football Team (BAFT) that was simply overwhelmed by Mohun Bagan Super Giant in the tournament opener earlier on Thursday by 5-0. East Bengal go into the Durand Cup with a totally new getup as well when compared to the previous edition. They have experienced Spanish head coach Carles Cuadrat at the helm, to begin with. They have also roped in the much more assured Prabhsukhan Gill in goal from the Kerala Blasters and their defense looks more settled with experienced heads like Harmanjot Khabra, Nishu Kumar and Mandar Rao Dessai now in their ranks. Up ahead they have the mercurial duo of Suhair and Naorem Mahesh Singh who can turn any game on its head and the experience of Brazilian Clayton Silva to complete a much more rounded side.
