No sponsor, no sweat for Kowloon Cantons at Hong Kong T20 Blitz– they’ve still got two trophies
Owners of the privately backed franchise are confident they can win a third straight title in February
Cantons, who are backed by a group of enthusiastic cricket-loving women, have retained coach Craig Wright, captain Babar Hayat and Ehsan Nawaz from last year’s title-winning team but were not able to reassemble all the players who helped beat City Kaitak in last year’s final.
However, they did manage to bring five players back during the draft this month and are looking forward to being competitive once against from February 6-11 at Mission Road.
“We believe in our team being our family and so it was important to try and get back our players from the earlier seasons. We are disappointed we couldn’t get everyone back, the Cantons players are always very highly sought after,” said Urvashi Sethi-Sodhi, CEO of Kowloon Cantons.
