Hong Kong Cricket Association is hitting for six in Nepal charity drive
HKCA hopes to attract sponsors and community support to raise funds this weekend for Unicef's Nepal Appeal and Operation Breakthrough
Top players from Hong Kong and Nepal, along with a local development side, will take part in a Sixes for Nepal two-day charity tournament this weekend.
Organised by the Hong Kong Cricket Association (HKCA), the event will feature six teams competing in a six-a-side format at the Kowloon Cricket Club.
Money raised from the event will be given to Unicef's Nepal Appeal and Operation Breakthrough - a local charity that works to prevent crime and juvenile delinquency among the children from the disadvantaged environments.
The six teams will feature a spread of players from the Nepal national cricket team and Hong Kong, who are fresh from qualifying for next year's ICC World Twenty20 finals in India.
Other players will be drawn from the Hong Kong Dragons, the HKCA's developmental Chinese cricket team; professional coaches involved with the Hong Kong national team and local league teams and top all-rounders and batsmen who regularly turn out in the HKCA Premier League.
