By the looks of it, our national heroes are more than pumped and ready for their next international battle. Recently, England has announced their withdrawal from the Thomas cup tournament due to the injuries sustained by several of their athletes. After witnessing our team's phenomenal performance in the previous Sudirman Cup, there's no denying that the squad is an intimidating force in the field— despite how young they are.
(*England has since withdrawn from the tournament.)
As for the schedule, it is as follows:
Malaysia VS Canada: October 12th | 12.00 AM
Malaysia VS Japan: October 14th | 2.30 PM

No matter the result, our national athletes are already worthy and deserving of praise and recognition for their hard work, having just competed in the challenging Sudirman cup. All the best to our national heroes!
