It was only less than a month ago that the Malaysia national team gathered to compete in the 2022 World Cup qualifier and the squad has already been reassembled for another round of international friendly and important qualification match. The match against Sri Lanka is the starter before the main course that is Vietnam on October 10.
This time around Malaysia are only involved in one Group G match as they are the team sitting out of the matches scheduled to be played on October 15. Hong Kong was initially planned to be the opponent for that particular date but circumstances engulfing the island meant that the match could not proceed as planned.
