PETALING JAYA: Leftback Nazirul Naim Che Hashim is not going to let go of his spot in the national team without a fight.

The 22-year-old earned his first cap against Saudi Arabia in the 2018 World Cup qualifying Asian Zone Group A match at the Shah Alam Stadium on Sept 8. The match was abandoned with Malaysia trailing 2-1 in the 88th minute due to crowd trouble.
