PETALING JAYA: Any other player who had seen action in just two international matches in 17 months would have quit but that’s not the case for warrior Shahril Saabah.

Shahril, a prolific striker with 150 caps, picked up a knee injury during the Speedy Tigers’ European tour in September 2022 and made a comeback at the World Cup in Bhubaneswar, India, in January.
