Asia Cup 2009 :: MHF finally decide on their final 18 for tournament

The Malaysian Hockey Federation (MHF) have finally decided on their final 18 for the Asia Cup, which starts here today.

The unlucky one to be omitted yesterday was midfielder Mohd Razie Abdul Rahim, who was injured earlier this year and did not play in the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup last month.

Thus, the MHF only made three changes to the team that won the silver medal at the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup in Ipoh.

The three who got in are Jiwa Mohan, Mohd Fairus Wanasir and Tengku Ahmad Tajuddin. The three who were in the Ipoh squad but have been left out are S. Baljit Singh, Mohd Amerullah Abdul Aziz and Khairulnizam Ibrahim.

National interim coach Tai Beng Hai said that their decision was based on the players’ form in training over the last few days.
