PETALING JAYA: Fitri Saari will be heading to Oman with renewed vigour following the rousing advice from his brother Faizal that this could be the year where Malaysia could return to the Olympics.

Faizal, one of the most senior players with 285 caps, was dropped from the Speedy Tigers’ squad due to gout and will miss the chance to join forces with Fitri at the Olympic Qualifiers in Muscat from Jan 15-25.
