There were several surprises when the national team of 30
was named by Paul Revington today.
With the national juniors out of bounds, due to their
commitments for the Junior Word Cup, Revington was forced to recall several
players that have been left in the cold for the past few years.
Among them are Mohd Madzli Ikmar who last don national
colours at the Dublin Olympic Qualifiers in March 2012. Also recalled to the
side is S. Selvaraju who last played in the 2009 Invercargill World Cup
Qualifiers.
Other notable names in the list are Megat Azrafiq Mwgat
Termizi, Engku Abdul Malek Engku Mohammad, Harvinder Singh, Ismail Abu, Mohd
Noor Faeez Ibrahim and keeper Kairulnizam Ibrahim.
Some players like Dangerous Lee, Azrul, Harmesh Singh and
Jiwa Mohan were however surprisingly left out.
“Dangerous/Azrul/Harmesh are still
"U21" and I purposefully stayed clear of this group of players as per
the arrangement with the Juniors Coaching staff last year when we drew up the
calendar,” clarified Revington.
“These guys are for the Project 2013 coaches
to train without any crossover with the Senior Squad.
“I want to see if the experience of
Madzli/Megat/Engku will add something to our defense over the coming months.
“Megat and Engku are only 29 years old
and will be given a path in the absence of Faiz Helmi and Izad Hakimi and with
the increase of Squad from 26 to 30. “
Meanwhile Selvaraju was elated with his
recall.
“It is indeed good to be selected again
and I will redouble my efforts during training and hopefully make the grade for
the final 18 for the various tournaments,” said Selvaraju.
“It may be tough but I intend to fight
every inch to get a place into the World cup squad.
“The journey will be tough but getting
recalled is a good start.”
