The organisers of the Indian Super League have announced the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the new season that is set to kick-off in November later this year. The teams will be divided into three groups and the SOPs will see teams from a group playing their home matches at one venue.

Indian national team assistant coach Shanmugam Venkatesh stated that Sandesh Jhinghan has to go out and play in overseas leagues even, but not necessarily in Europe. The central defender is without a club at present, with Kerala Blasters FC parting ways with the footballers earlier this year.

Iain Hume feels that the Indian Super League is a baby compared to other leagues compared to others in the world and needs time to establish itself. The Canadian was awarded the Hero of the league in the first edition of the ISL, back in 2014, and was part of ATK's league winning side in 2016.

Sandesh Jhinghan not only feels that the ISL has revolutionized Indian football, but people have also started taking an active interest in the sport after its inception, in 2014. The league has been credited for the constant supply of players to the national side in the past few years.
