HULU LANGAT, Oct 18 — The Harimau Malaya squad are capable of taking their game to a higher level even without the presence of the seven heritage players who are currently suspended, said former national player Mohd Nizaruddin Yusof.

The two recent victories over Laos in the ongoing 2026 Asian Cup Qualifiers, which led to the team’s world ranking rising to number 118, are proof that coach Peter Cklamovski’s squad are still the real deal.
