KUALA LUMPUR: A new ruling by the German Hockey Federation (German HF) has resulted in two national players’ stint in the German League abruptly cut short after just five matches.

Forward Mohd Rashid Baharom and defender Faiz Jali Helmi left for Germany on Sept 22 to feature for Division One club Schwarz Weiss. They returned home on Tuesday.
