India coach Stephen Constantine felt the games would be a "learning experience" for the team.

"It's been two weeks that we have been together and the U-23 boys need competitive games. The tour to Singapore would be a valuable experience for the squad to gauge the intensity of International encounters. I thank AIFF for arranging the matches ahead of our AFC Qualifiers," Constantine told the AIFF's official website.

 

"The games would be competitive and provide us the much needed exposure," he added.
