The rationale for the #LionsXII move is pretty simple: Baihakki needs to keep playing football to stand any chance of being in the squad for the AFF Suzuki Cup at the end of the year, and the LionsXII could do with a person of his caliber after an inconsistent season so far. Some would criticise the move as it sends the wrong message for a developmental team, with his involvement likely to deprive youngsters such as Afiq Yunos and Madhu Mohana a spot in the starting 11. Yes, questions should be rightfully asked, but Baihakki’s presence to the squad should not be understated. In fact, his return to the LionsXII fold is likely to be beneficial for the team in general, the youngsters and the player himself.
