"Hero Indian Super League confirms the participation of former Manchester United player Bojan Djordjic for the inaugural season. The winger-cum-attacking midfielder will feature among the 49 players in the 'central international player draft' to be held on August 21st 2014 in Mumbai," the organisers IMG-Reliance said in a release.
