Malaysia head coach Tan Cheng Hoe is glad that the Malaysian league will continue to be played through the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
His Harimau Malaya charges in particular will be affected by the decision, as right after the fasting month ends, they will play Timor Leste in the 2022 World Cup/2023 Asian Cup first qualifying round in Kuala Lumpur, on June 7 and 11.
"I believe that Ramadan league fixtures are beneficial in that it helps the national team. If the Malaysian league takes a break during the fasting month, it will disrupt the national players' momentum when they are called up.
