The Hong Kong Cricket Sixes 2024 will be played between November 1 and 3. Here is where you can watch the tournament live, on TV channels and live streaming.
Hong Kong had launched the Cricket Sixes in the 1990s with “international” sides from around the world. Unlike Kerry Packer’s World Series in the 1970s or the Rebel tours of South Africa in the 1980s, the boards had no problem releasing the cricketers for the Hong Kong Cricket Sixes.
It began as a small tournament with customised rules, but over time, it began to feature stars from all around the world representing “national” sides. The Cricket Sixes was held every year between 1993 and 1997, then again from 2001 to 2012. Since then, it has been played only in 2017 before making a comeback in 2024.
