KUALA LUMPUR: Kevinder Singh still harbours hopes of playing for the national hockey team despite tying the knot with Remita Kaur at the Tanjung Karang Gurdwara on Saturday.
The Kuala Lumpur-born, who can play in midfield and the forwardline, last represented Malaysia in the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup in 2012.
Kevinder, who was named the best player in the 2005 Junior World Cup in Rotterdam, has represented Malaysia 150 times since the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup in 2006.
The 29-year-old police inspector, who is stationed at Brickfields, said although he has settled down, his passion to don national colours has not diminish.
“I am still keen to play for the country if given the chance as I believe I have the experience and skills.
“I’m fit and believe I can help improve the midfield,” said Kevinder, who was a member of the team that won the bronze in the Asia Cup in Chennai in 2006.
The KL Hockey Club (KLHC) player, who has featured in two World Cup qualifiers and two Olympics qualifiers, hopes to get a recall after next month’s Asian Games in South Korea.
