Philippines head into the tournament as the highest-ranked nation (124) from the region while Thailand are the defending champions after the War Elephants clinched the title in the 2014 edition of biennial tournament.

Singapore find themselves in a tough group and very little is expected of them, especially after their run-up to the tournament, in which they were able to win only one game in their last seven outings.

On the other hand, their causeway rivals Malaysia find themselves in a relatively easier group consisting Cambodia, Vietnam and Myanmar. Marred by retirements of their senior players, the Tigers have also had mixed results winning only two of their last seven games.

Group A: Indonesia, Philippines (co-hosts), Singapore, Thailand

Group B: Cambodia, Malaysia, Myanmar (co-hosts), Vietnam
