Rafiq out to defend his Thailand Open title in lead-up to SEA Games


PETALING JAYA: Fresh from a stellar run on the Asian bowling circuit, national ace Rafiq Ismail is looking to defend his Thailand Open title with a steady focus and a healthy dose of humility.

The prestigious tournament, scheduled at Blu-O Rhythm & Bowl Ratchayothin in Bangkok from July 17-24, also serves as a crucial lead-up to the 2025 SEA Games, set to be held at the same venue from Dec 14-19.
