Pailan Arrows squad for the 2012/13 season

The Pailan Arrows, the AIFF's developmental side in the I-League, go into the 2012/13 season under new Australian coach Arthur Papas ( Indian Arrows introduce new Chief Coach Arthur Papas ) and numerous new youngsters who have joined the side while some of the senior boys have been released.

After a weaker season in the I-League in which the Pailan Arrows only finished 13th and would have been relegated if their status in the top tier wasn't confirmed before the start, will hope to have a better season and develop the youngsters for international assignments.

What makes Papas' job easier would be the fact that a number of his players were part of the India Under-22 squad which he coached earlier in the AFC Under-22 Championship qualifiers in Oman.
