(5) Japan
Hong Kong
New Zealand

Group 2
(3) India
(4) Korea
Philippines
Malaysia

Group 3

Knockout draw:

Winner Group 1 vs 3rd Best Team Grp 2/3
Runner-up Group 2 vs Runner-up Group 3
Winner Group 2 vs Runner-up Group 1

Round Robin Schedule for India

19th vs Malaysia

The Indian team is Agnel Gladwyn, Arnav Jain and Mesher Vaswani. Not as high-profile a group as the Rupesh/Sumit team last year that topped Asia in grand style and finished 7th in the world finals-16. But this is a good group of kids, and let's wish them best!
