Which players have Myanmar picked for the 2022 AFF Championship?
Two time Asian Games winners Myanmar enter the 2022 AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup in Group B, which consists of Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Laos.
They came fourth in Group A in last year's tournament, behind Thailand, Singapore and the Philippines and will be hoping to spring a couple of surprises this time around.
Myanmar will kick off their tournament against Malaysia on December 21.
Head coach Antoine Hey has already selected his provisional 25-man squad, so let's take a look at the players who made the cut!
The battle for the number one spot at the AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup 2022 is between Kyaw Zin Phyo and San Sat Naing.
Kyaw Zin Phyo will fancy his chances as the more experienced of the two, but San Sat Naing will be hopeful of getting his chance, too.
Third choice Tun Nanda Oo Dara is yet to play a senior international game for Myanmar.

DEFENDERS
David Htan, Wai Yan Oo and Kyaw Zin Lwin are most probably their first-choice defenders, with the likes of Zaw Ye Tun, Ye Min Thu providing solid alternatives.
Hein Phyo Win could also get the nod in defence as his side's only defender plying his trade abroad at Ratchaburi.

MIDFIELDERS
Hlaing Bo Bo will aim to protect Myanmar's defence as his side's deepest midfielder, while Yan Naing Oo will take up more of an attacking role in Myanmar.
Star player Maung Maung Lwin, meanwhile, will be adding a creative spark from midfield.
Kyaw Min Oo and Myat Kaung Khant are also strong candidates for a starting berth.

ATTACKERS
Win Naing Tun is his side's most experienced option in attack, with promising youngster Hein Htet Aung another potential dangerman who can provide pace and trickery down the right wing.
