PETALING JAYA: National bowler Syazirol Shamsuddin believes he has rediscovered his best form this year after a difficult 2024 season, where he failed to reach the podium in any Open Tour and missed out on the Asian Championships.

His resurgence this year was highlighted by his performances at the SEA Games, where he claimed a bronze medal in the singles event and a gold medal in the doubles alongside Rafiq Ismail.
