Kuala Lumpur: Malaysia U-23 head coach Ong Kim Swee has named his provisional 24-man squad for the upcoming 2018 Asian Games in Indonesia.
The 47-year-old former Malaysian international has called upon 17 players - who played in the AFC U23 Championship China 2018 - to return to the fray, as well as Baddrol Bakhthiar, Aidil Zafuan and Rizal Ghazali as the team’s overage players.
The tournament allows three overage players to join the squad of 20 to compete, which means Ong would have to trim down four players from his provisional announcement.
Ong believes his three experienced footballers would serve a crucial role in the midfield and in the defence but has full confidence in his budding talents to make no mistakes in the final third.
