Yeah atleast could have sent players who are not in contention to play for India like Tewatia, Saha, Hooda etc

Yup but they will not send them just like they were not allowed to play any foreign leagues

Saha is playing for Bengal. Tewatia should be playing for Haryana. Hooda is captain of Rajasthan. I don't know why Saha returned. Porel and Goswami were there. But Goswami went to Chattisgarh I guess.
