SRI Lanka have withdrawn from the Asia Cup in Kuantan on May 9-16.
Malaysian Hockey Federation (MHF) president Tengku Abdullah Sultan
Ahmad Shah said Sri Lanka did not give any official reason over their
late decision.
Sri Lanka were drawn in Group A together with hosts Malaysia, South
Korea and Japan.
MHF secretary Hashim Mohd Yusoff said the International Hockey
Federation (FIH) had informed MHF over Sri Lanka's withdrawal yesterday.
FIH also decided to move Bangladesh from Group B to Group A as a
replacement for Sri Lanka.
Group B will now have three teams - India, Pakistan and China.
