World Cup countdown: Siegfried Wai and Jason Lui among 54 players in mix for Hong Kong squad
Shahid Wasif is given a full-time contract while three Chinese players are vying to play against Nepal and Papua New Guinea
Youngster Shahid Wasif has earned himself a full-time contract with Cricket Hong Kong while two more Chinese players are in the mix in the quest to reach the ICC World Cup qualifiers.
The 20-year-old Diasqua Little Sai Wan player has been with the senior team for a year and selectors are impressed enough to give him one of 16 full-time contracts among 54 players who are vying to make the squad.
Sportsroad Dragons players Siegfried Wai and Jason Lui are called up for the Hong Kong A squad, joining national squad member Li Kai-ming as the three Chinese players competing for places.
“As a group of selectors we believe these 54 players are the best players in Hong Kong and are the next in line for the immediate future,” coach Simon Cook said.
“There are three under-16s in there who might be more long term and there are others that could come into consideration but we are confident in this group.
