IPOH: New Zealand goalkeeper Devon Manchester is excited at making the team for the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup – and the chance to resume his career after a six-month layoff.

The 25-year-old Manchester had been sidelined for six months after undergoing surgery on a left shoulder injury he first suffered two years ago. He only returned to training recently and is hoping to prove that the injury is a thing of the past with a good showing here in Ipoh.
