But national chief coach Holloway Cheah is more concerned with the performance of Aaron, who has been struggling to get his act right for some time now.
Last week, seven national men’s elite bowlers went through a special selection roll-off at the Pyramid Mega Lanes to vie for the five slots for the trip to the United States.
The five who made it were Mohd Syafiq Ridhwan Abdul Malek, Adrian Ang, Alex Liew, Zulmazran Zulkifli and Mohd Nur Aiman Khairuddin.
Daniel and Aaron finished sixth and seventh respectively. Holloway said that Aaron showed a distinct lack of confidence in his game.
“I am not too worried about Daniel. He missed the cut for the Las Vegas trip after losing by just one pin. His performance wasn’t that bad,” said Holloway.
“But Aaron has been having some difficulties. I have given him some room to change the way he bowls. It has not worked out well so far. Now, I have to review his bowling style again.”
New recruits Syafiq and Aiman continued to justify their inclusion in the elite squad by finishing among the top five and won praises from Holloway.
Meanwhile, Holloway confirmed that Mohd Noer Said had been demoted from the elite to the back-up squad after enduring a lean spell over the last year.
