Hong Kong players ready for global T20 leagues, says Blitz star Nizakat Khan
The man of the match in Sunday’s final is being encouraged to play in the Caribbean Premier League by his Jaguars teammate Darren Sammy
Nizakat, Kowloon Cantons captain Babar Hayat, City Kaitak’s Anshuman Rath and Hong Kong players such as Kyle Christie, Haroon Arshad, Kinchit Shah, among others, more than held their own playing alongside and against top overseas players during the six-day tournament.
“I’m looking forward to hopefully playing in some of the big leagues,” said Nizakat, who was also player of the tournament at the 2017 Hong Kong World Sixes. “That is my benchmark. I hope that if I can keep knocking on doors my chance will come.
“I’ve scored a T20 century before in big matches [against Sydney Thunder in Australia] and other Hong Kong players such as Babar, he is phenomenal and is a top performer on the international stage, as well as Anshy Rath.
“A few of our boys are ready to play in those types of leagues.”
