Bashir Hussain is actually Shabbir Hussain and Zafar Ahmad is Zafar Iqbal. Remove the "Bashir Hussain" and "Zafar Ahmad" profiles and assign that Pakistan vs. Iran 1992-05-11 cap to the correct profiles. Was able to identify the correct players from the pics of the 1992 Asian qualifiers

Again, not sure if we want to include this one. Any opinions? Would it entail adding much more matches? What is the status of these squads?
See 2005 Islamic Games article. Seems like a mix tournament of full and youth/B national teams until it became strictly u-23 from the next edition 2013. See the 2005 tournament brochure (page 17) stating there is no age limit.
For Pakistan I can fully confirm it was the full national team, and so was Malaysia as clearly the squad and coach is full strength, Malay press from 2005 also treat it as the national team
