Ong Kim Swee names a provisional squad of 28 players as he kick-starts his preparation for the 2019 Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in Philippines that will start with the opening group match against Myanmar on November 25. Philippines, Timor Leste and Cambodia are the other teams in the same group as Malaysia.
The very favourable groupings have given Kim Swee a real chance of making it through to the knockout stage without too much trouble before more difficult opponents could be faced in the semi-final if as expected Vietnam and Thailand comes through the other group.
