Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 58483, member: 636"] The Bangladesh Hockey Federation revised its training strategy for the Under-21 Hockey World Cup scheduled to start on November 28 in India. Officials canceled the original Pakistan tour and selected Malaysia as the new destination after Pakistan's federation changed its plans. Lt Col (retd) Riazul Hasan, the federation's General Secretary, emphasized that Malaysia's competitive under-21 squad would provide adequate preparation. The team will compete in at least four matches during the final week of this month against Malaysian players of similar age and skill level. The federation simultaneously pursues a European training opportunity for late October. Hasan confirmed ongoing negotiations with Switzerland and Austria to arrange additional matches for either the national team or club squads before the world championship begins. [/QUOTE]
