Shahril believes Razie and Co can take over his penalty corner duty


PETALING JAYA: Shahril Saabah (pic) used to be one of Malaysia’s top penalty corner takers but the striker will not be unduly worried if he doesn’t get to play that role at the World Cup which begins in India on Jan 13.

The experienced Shahril, who has 148 international caps, is grateful to be included in the Speedy Tigers squad after recovering from knee and ankle injuries he suffered two months ago which almost ended his chances of playing at the World Cup.
