Six-a-side
cricket is the quickest, most fun-filled version of the glorious
old game – a feast of world class players, thrilling matches,
huge hits and spectacular catches.
The Hong
Kong Cricket Sixes is the longest-running, best-established
and most high-profile sixes tournament in the world.
It offers
two days of fast and furious action in a festival atmosphere
– 10 international teams, 45-minute clashes, global TV coverage
and almost US$300,000 in prize money up for grabs.
First
played in 1992, the tournament is fully sanctioned by the
International Cricket Council and backed by the boards of
the test-playing nations.
Stars
who have taken part include Brian Lara, Sachin Tendulkar,
Steve and Mark Waugh, Viv Richards, Andrew Flintoff, Adam
Gilchrist, Inzamam-ul-Haq and Wasim Akram.
Adding
to the excitement is the exotic venue: Kowloon Cricket Club,
situated in the heart of Hong Kong with the teeming city’s
skyscrapers providing a breathtaking backdrop.
England,
Pakistan, West Indies, Sri Lanka, India and South Africa
– all have triumphed at the Hong Kong Cricket Sixes.
But the
real winners are the fans, who enjoy two days of pulsating
action.
And it
is all for a worthy cause – profits from the tournament are
ploughed directly back into cricket development in Hong Kong
through the Hong Kong Cricket Association.
The Hong
Kong Cricket Sixes: the first, the biggest, the best. Nobody
does it better.
Mission Statement:
To develop the game of Cricket in Hong Kong in terms of:
- raising awareness of cricket and enjoyment of the sport amongst the local community;
- raising funds for the HKCA to invest in developing the game in Hong Kong;
- raising the stature and strengthening the position and relationships of the HKCA within the Asian Cricket Council, International Cricket Council, and the global cricketing community as a whole;
