Distance between venues pose new challenge for Speedy Tigers

KUALA LUMPUR: Apart from the challenge on the pitch, the Speedy Tigers will have to contend with ‘‘travel lag’’ at the World Cup.

Malaysia will play their matches at two different cities on the east coast state of Odisha in India, namely Bhubaneswar (Kalinga Stadium) and Rourkela (Birsa Munda International Hockey Stadium).
