Execute your skills or fail, says City Kaitak coach Robin Singh ahead of Hong Kong T20 Blitz
Former India international says the local players must step up to a different level when the come up against overseas players
Execute your skills, or fail – that’s the message from City Kaitak coach Robin Singh to the Hong Kong players as they go up against top internationals in next month’s Hong Kong T20 Blitz.
The former Indian international and Hong Kong coach arrived in the City last week, one month before the Blitz in order to prepare the players for the March 8-12 tournament, which also features Kowloon Cantons, Hung Hom JD Warriors, Hong Kong Island United and Galaxy Gladiators Lantau.
“I think the key to being successful is to adapt and for the Hong Kong players to learn to play at different levels because this tournament will feature several international players,” said Singh, who had previously said that “second place was not an option”.
“T20 is a fast-paced game and you cannot think twice. Your skill levels have to be up to the mark and you have to be able to execute. If you cannot execute you are gone.
“Execute your skills or you will be a failure. You cannot second guess. Back yourself to do it.”
