High-flying Akhyar out to reproduce national form with Southern Tigers

Major improvement: Akhyar Rashid scored a goal each against Turkmenistan and Hong Kong in the recent friendlies. — JDT

PETALING JAYA: Winger Akhyar Rashid is flying high as a national player after scoring in Malaysia’s two recent friendlies against Turkmenistan and Hong Kong.

And it wouldn’t be a flight of fancy for him to think of being in Johor Darul Ta’zim’s (JDT) starting line-up against Sabah at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium in Iskandar Puteri today.
