What is Hong Kong Sixes?
The Hong Kong Sixes is a fast-paced cricket competition that started in the 1990s. It was designed to give Hong Kong’s cricketers and fans a chance to watch international stars in action, despite the city being only an ICC Associate Member. Unlike one-off exhibition matches, it became an annual international event, with cricket boards allowing players to participate freely. The Sixes ran from 1993–1997, returned from 2001–2012, briefly resurfaced in 2017, and was relaunched in 2024.
