KUALA LUMPUR: Forward Mohamed Rashid Baharom passed a last-minute medical test to keep his place in the final 18-man Malaysian squad for the QNET Asian Champions Trophy.

Rashid, 24, had injured his toe in the recent Australian Hockey League (AHL) earlier this month and was a doubtful starter for the six-nation tournament, which begins at the Kuantan Hockey Stadium on Thursday.
