BA of Malaysia (BAM) junior development director Misbun Sidek said those who shone will be recommended to the national coaches for the selection process.
"It is only right to give the up-and-coming players a chance in team competitions.
"Furthermore, the BAM also want to send fresh faces to Denmark," said Misbun yesterday.
