Ticket to the worlds via Asia Cup awaits Arul’s boys


PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s chances of qualifying for hockey’s Asia Cup super four in Jakarta (May 23-June 1) received a boost when they avoided big guns India, Japan and Pakistan in the group stage.

A super four spot, instead of the regular semi-final stage, would enhance Malaysia’s chances of qualifying for the World Cup in Bhubaneswar, India from Jan 13-29 next year.
