The regular season may be over, but a few Cavs have still been in action this week all over the globe.

Shamit Shome, Ali Musse, and Mihail Gherasimencov psuited up in the league in 2025 represented their countries in international football in the November window, and a few of them helped their sides to some huge results.

Here's a round-up of what happening recently on the international stage.

Bangladesh

Shamit Shome (Cavalry FC)

The Cavalry midfielder has become a star in Bangladesh after declaring for the country and making his debut last June.

Shome has played a major role for the national team in this window, playing 45 minutes last week in a 2-2 draw against Nepal then going the full 90 on Tuesday in an AFC Asian Cup qualifier against India.

The latter was a particularly special moment for Bangladesh, who hadn't beaten rivals India for 22 years. This time, however, Shome and his side managed to claw out a 1-0 win, delivering a massive result to home fans in Dhaka.

Unfortunately, Bangladesh are already out of contention to qualify for the 2027 Asian Cup, but Shome and co. will nonetheless enjoy this win.

Somalia

Ali Musse (Cavalry FC)

Speaking of historic international wins, Cavalry winger Ali Musse was part of the Ocean Stars side who defeated Bahrain in a friendly on Monday.

Somalia, ranked 202nd in the world, beat 90th-ranked Bahrain to break a seven-year winless run.

One other familiar face to the CPL played a part in this one: former Halifax Wanderers midfielder Mo Omar scored one of Somalia's goals.

Musse has eight total caps for his country, and will likely play an important role in Somalia's upcoming must-win FIFA Arab Cup qualifier against Oman on Nov. 26.

Moldova

Mihail Gherasimencov (Cavalry FC)

The 20-year-old full-back, on loan at Cavalry this year from Whitecaps FC 2, graduated from Moldova's youth system to the senior national team recently.

The Tricolorii played two World Cup qualifiers this window against Italy and Israel. Gherasimencov did not feature in the 2-0 defeat to Italy, but he did play the full 90 minutes as a centre-back in Moldova's loss to Israel on Sunday.

Moldova did not manage to qualify for this summer's World Cup, finishing bottom of Group I after collecting just one point (a draw with Estonia, in which Gherasimencov played 90).
