Arul plans to give every player equal chance to impress

PETALING JAYA: National hockey coach A. Arulselvaraj is breaking with tradition in an effort to build a squad where every player can be an asset to the team.

For that, he will not embrace the ‘’first XI concept’’ but will rely on a rotation system where the younger players get a chance to bridge the gap with the seniors and also stand in when key members are out of form or injured.
