SEPANG: British Junior Open (BJO) bridesmaid Aira Azman is ready to step up in her next assignment – the Asian Junior Team Cham­pionships in Pattaya from Jan 16-20.

Malaysia were champions in the girl’s event and silver medallist in the boys category in the last Asian Junior Team Championships which was held in Hong Kong in 2017. This time around, Malaysia are expected to win both events in Pattaya based on their strong showing in the British Juniors.
