Personally for Hughes coming to India to play Indian Super League was in many ways to extend his own international career. The second most capped Northern Irish footballer has set his eyes on the 2018 World cup for a swansong. 'We are in the World Cup 2018 qualifiers at the moment. 'When the option of the ISL was put in front of me, it was an exciting one. I won't be surprised if because of ISL and players coming in, India establishes itself to compete with the big ones.'
