PETALING JAYA: All it took was a memorable 20-minute display against Laos in the Cambodia SEA Games to convince national coach Kim Pan-gon to pick young midfielder Syahir Bashah for the Harimau Malaya squad.

The 21-year-old was the only new face in the South Korean’s 27-men squad for the upcoming friendlies against Solomon Islands (June 14) and Papua New Guinea (June 20) at the Sultan Mizan Stadium in Gong Badak.
