PSSI Executive Committee member Arya Sinulingga considered John Herdman's decision to call up many players in his first "Garuda Calling" reasonable.
Herdman named 41 players to the provisional squad, which will then be used to select the 23-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be held later this month.
"It's natural. Because he wants to know everything, right? He wants to know all the national team players who have been called up, it's natural that he asks for everything. Because he wants to try everything, right? He wants to know everything. It's very natural," said Arya while attending the launch of the new Indonesian national team jersey with Kelme at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium
