PETALING JAYA: Experienced shuttlers Anthony Ginting and Rian Ardianto are likely to pose a serious threat to Malaysia’s hopes in the Asia Team Championships after they were named in the Indonesian squad. Malaysia will take on Indonesia and Myanmar in Group D in the team meet from Feb 3-8 in Qingdao, China. Indonesia have selected a mixture of seniors and juniors in their squad with singles star Anthony and experienced doubles ace Rian the standout names. 8 Sabar Gutama-Moh Reza (doubles) have not been named in the team.
