Mohun Bagan receives invitation from Australia!
After the Bayern Munich deal, Mohun Bagan officials and fans are over joyed at the prospect of the team flying to Australia to play a number of friendly matches. Bagan players have just returned from their trip to Mauritius and the invitations coming at a time when the season has already come to an end is of some concern to the officials as this is denying the boys of their well rest to be fit for the next season. This is only reason why Bagan may abandon the trip to Australia.
