Asia have retained five of the players who were responsible for lifting last year's Royal Trophy for next month's event.

Joe Ozaki will captain the side for a third time as Asia take on Colin Montgomerie's European contingent 12 months after winning 10-6.
Ryo Ishikawa, Charlie Wi, Liang Wenchong and Thai pair Prayad Marksaeng and Thongchai Jaidee have all been selected again and will be joined by India's Jeev Milkha Singh, compatriot Gaganjeet Bhullar and Japan's Koumei Oda.
The three-day event featuring foursomes, fourballs and singles competitions will run from Jan. 8-10 at the Amata Spring Country Club in Chonburi, east of Bangkok.
A strong European side was named on Wednesday, headed by world number eight Henrik Stenson.
