India returns to English soil after 24 years as it faces Jamaica in the Unity Cup 2026 semifinal in London on Wednesday. The Blue Tigers last played in England in 2002, also against Jamaica, in friendlies at Watford and Wolverhampton. Now under head coach Khalid Jamil, India sees the tournament as a chance to test itself against stronger opposition. Ranked 136th, India enters as the underdog against 71st-ranked Jamaica, which narrowly missed out on World Cup qualification after losing to DR Congo in the play-offs in March.
