The Indian national team will play two friendly matches during their 20-day trip to Dubai as they plan to prepare for the 2011 Asian Cup.
The Men in Blue were expected to play against Asian champions Iraq back in December last year but with them being banned by FIFA, it left little opportunities for India to play against a decent national team.
However, Team India wouldn't be playing any national teams as they shall play Al Shaab and Al Nasr on February 20 and 23.
Al Shaab and Al Nasr are placed on ninth and tenth positions in the UAE Professional League this season. Back in November, the Indian U-19 team had played against Al Shaab's U-19 side beating them with a 4-0 scoreline.
