A dispute over Pakistan Association's right to play in the final of the Sunday League led to the Kowloon Cricket Club closing its doors to the showpiece yesterday.
Pakistan Association were due to meet Little Sai Wan in the final at KCC, but the match was called off after teams were told that the ground would not be made available.
It follows a controversial end to last Sunday's semi-final between KCC Infidels and Pakistan Association. KCC were unhappy over a decision by the Hong Kong Cricket Association's match disciplinary committee (MDC), which ruled that although their opponents had fielded an ineligible player, the result - a 66-run win by Pakistan Association - should stand.
'I think they [KCC] are angry that the Hong Kong Cricket Association didn't find in their favour and disqualify us from the final,' Pakistan Association's general secretary Alex Mohammad said. 'What KCC has done is not in the spirit of the game.'
But KCC captain of cricket Simon Scanlon hit back, saying the HKCA should have penalised Pakistan Association with a forfeit as they had gone against the rules of 'world cricket'.
Scanlon said: 'It is very simple. They fielded an ineligible player and the rules around the world say if a team field such a player, they should forfeit the match. Everyone, the HKCA as well as its MDC, agreed that Pakistan Association had done wrong, then why wasn't the result revoked?'
Right-arm fast bowler Adil Mehmood was at the centre of the controversy. Mehmood hadn't played all season due to studies, but with his exams over made himself available for selection. But he was ineligible.
