NATIONAL coach Holloway Cheah has opted for youth for the Asian Indoor Games in Vietnam on Oct 30-Nov 8.
The men's team consists national champion Syafiq Ridhwan, Kang Bo Long, Kelvin Keong and Rodson Tong while Sharon Koh, Sin Li Jane, Fatin Syazliana and Tengku Emanina Laily make up the women's team.
"I see the tournament as more beneficial to the development of the younger bowlers. It will provide them the needed experience and exposure to progress," said Holloway yesterday.
"I am doing this because I want to have more options ahead of next year's Guangzhou Asian Games and the Men's World Championships in Germany.

"However, those who make an impact at the Indoor Games will not necessarily be considered for the Asian Games and world meet. They need to impress in a few other tournaments first before being considered."
Syafiq is the most experienced bowler in the Asian Indoor men's squad, having won several international titles including last year's PBAB Bevida-Storm International Classic.
Sharon, as an elite squad member, will lead the women's team. The left-handed bowler won the Singapore Open title recently.
Meanwhile, Zulmazran Zulkifli, a two-time Malaysian Open champion and World Ranking Masters winner Siti Safiyah Amirah Abdul Rahman will be based in Malacca 10 days before the start of the AMF World Cup (Nov 14-21).
"We are starting early as it will help them adapt to the venue (Malacca International Bowling Centre (MIBC)."
