The main reason behind this change is Kargar’s suspension for 5 official matches due to over reacting to referee's decision in the last group match against Laos in challenge cup qualification after Djaludin Shariatyar got Red card. He was also fined 5000$ dollors by AFC.


Djaludin Shariatyar won't be present in the friendly, due to injury, but will join National camp in UAE prior leaving for Nepal.Afghanistan are grouped with Sri Lanka, Bhutan and Maldives in SAFF Championship.
