Following on from the recent success in the East Asia Cup the HK Cricket selection panel has selected a 14 player squad for the upcoming Pre Tour to India and ICC World T20 Asia Region Qualifiers.
The team will spend 6 days in India then fly directly to Bangkok for their T20 Asia Region Qualifiers.
“This was a tough selection process for the Panel with some talented players missing out, but we’re confident we have selected a balanced side that has the potential to go on and win the tournament.”
“The goals that we had set was to win the East Asia Cup and our regional WT20 Qualifiers. The belief is there within the squad that we can go on and complete what we have set out to do.”
The team again will be under the Leadership of Mariko Hill. Which shows one change from the East Asia Squad. Keenu Gill is unavailable because of work commitments, and sees Marina Lamplough return to the squad.
“Marina has got an excellent chance to again stake her claim to be back in the starting 11. She knows that over the next 4 weeks she will need to put in the hard yards.”
Lemon Cheung has been added to the Pre Tour to India to let her gain vital experience for futures tours.
