While the initial target remains to reach the last eight stage, and give themselves a shot at qualifying for the FIFA Women's World Cup, the Indian team -- the youngest in Group A with an average age of 23.13, will look to its young Tigresses to come of age.

Sanju believes that the youngsters who have made the final list of 23, have been brought in on the basis of both their physical and mental strengths.
