Hong Kong Cricket Sixes 2008

CCIL issue statement regarding collapse of iSixes World Series

China Cricket International

June 23, 2008

The organisers of the Hong Kong Cricket Sixes have noted recent media reports detailing the collapse of the proposed iSixes World Series together with comments from the people behind that series that they are instead hoping to set up a Twenty20 competition at various venues in Asia, including Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong Cricket Sixes was not associated with the proposed iSixes Series and continues to have the support of the Asian Cricket Council and official sanctioning from the International Cricket Council. The 2008 Hong Kong Sixes tournament, to be held at the Kowloon Cricket Club on November 8 and 9, will be another huge success.

As regards any proposed Twenty20 tournament in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Cricket Association & CCIL have not been approached by the organisers of the proposed iSixes. Any such tournament in Hong Kong would need to be held with the agreement and close co-operation of CCIL which would welcome any initiative to stage an event of this kind.
