India will take part in the upcoming edition of the Hong Kong Cricket Sixes, a prestigious tournament that has previously showcased cricket legends such as India's Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, and West Indies icon Brian Lara. Cricket Hong Kong has announced this news on its social media.
"Team announcement. Team India is gearing up to smash it out of the park at HK6! Prepare for explosive power hitting and a storm of sixes that will electrify the crowd! Expect More Teams, More Sixes, More Excitement, and Maximum thrills! HK6 is back from 1st to 3rd November 2024! Don’t miss out!" Cricket Hong Kong wrote in a post on social media.
The tournament is set to take place from November 1 to 3 at the Tin Kwong Road Recreation Ground, featuring 12 participating teams. The 2024 Hong Kong Cricket Sixes will mark the 20th edition of the event, making a comeback after a seven-year hiatus. The matches will be played from 8:30 am to 6 pm on the three days.
Importantly, Pakistan has already revealed its squad for the tournament, with Faheem Ashraf appointed as the captain.
The tournament has distinctive rules, with each team consisting of only six players. Matches are capped at a maximum of 45 minutes. With only six players, there are just four fielders on the field after accounting for the wicketkeeper and bowler. Each team plays five overs, and every player, except the wicketkeeper, must bowl one over.
