PETALING JAYA: Harith Haiqal Adam Afkar has no intent to bask in past glory.

The 19-year-old centreback was instrumental in the AFC Under-23 Asian Cup qualifiers last year but he knows that past performance will not guarantee him a first 11 spot in the AFF Under-23 championship starting on Tuesday in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
