PETALING JAYA: Malaysian Hockey Confederation (MHC) president Datuk Seri Subahan Kamal has not set a specific target for the Speedy Tigers but wants them to return to the world’s top 10 again with a standout performance at the World Cup in India from Jan 13-29.

Malaysia dropped a rung to World No. 11 after an injury-stricken team finished fourth in the Nations Cup in Potchefstroom, South Africa, from Nov 28-Dec 4 last year where South Korea, who finished third, overtook them to be ranked No. 10.
