PETALING JAYA: National coaching director Wong Choong Hann is in a dilemma.

He was told to have a lean and mean elite team when he became the head last year but now, he will have another eight juniors waiting for their promotion as their duties are over with the cancellation of the World Junior Championships in New Zealand in January.
