Panjang and the Boss – duo behind the stripes of the Speedy Tigers


WHILE the rest of the world prepares to usher in the new year, the Malaysian national hockey team have not been given the luxury to party.

They have been working overtime before departing for the 15th edition of the FIH Hockey World Cup in Bhubaneswar and Rourkela, India, a week from today, which happens to coincide with chief coach A. Arulselvaraj’s 49th birthday.
