Hong Kong's preparation for their Asian Cup qualifying campaign has not be hampered by India cancelling a friendly on Thursday, coach Tsang Wai-chung said. 'We didn't expect India to come. The match was added to our schedule suddenly,' Tsang said. 'So cancelling it will not cause us problems.' India are on their way to North Korea and decided to go directly to Beijing first. Hong Kong host Laos and Bangladesh on March 25 and 30 in the Asian Cup qualifiers and winger Lee Kin-wo said: 'It would have been ideal to have a good training game before we play our own qualifiers, especially as India are similar to Bangladesh.'
