PETALING JAYA: Malaysia not only lost the AFF Suzuki Cup, but also seasoned campaigner Mohd Shukor Adan.

The 35-year-old skipper is retiring from international football. Shukor had wanted to go out with flying colours in his last match for Malaysia on Saturday, but Thailand denied him the honour of lifting the Cup with a 4-3 aggregate win.
