hua hin cricket sixes returns
hua hin, THAILAND The Hua Hin Cricket Sixes is one of the longest running annual events in the town, and the 17th edition of the competition returns again this year with strong backing and the familiar format. The Bangkok Post have entered the fray this year as sponsors of the event, and this is part of an effort to advance the cause of cricket in Thailand. At a press conference last week Thanasak Karnasuta, organiser of the Hua Hin Sixes, and Supakorn Vejjajiva, president & chief operating officer of the Post Publishing, explained these efforts; “Cricket is one of the fastest growing sports today, its roots sprouting in all corners of the globe. This is particularly true of the Twenty20 that packs enough punch even for non-traditional cricket countries to have a go at the game. We would want to see it happen in Thailand. The Bangkok Post is happy to be part of that process,” said Supakorn. The tournament features 18 teams from Australia, Britain, Bangladesh, Singapore, Hong Kong and Thailand’s own stable of up-and-coming cricketers who would be competing in three divisions: the Cup, which is the main event; the Masters, for players 35 years old and above; and a veterans division where taking the field will be players 50 years old and over. There will be two teams from Hua Hin competing. The Bangkok Post-Hua Hin Cricket Sixes, runs from Saturday 7th to Wednesday 11th April and is taking place at the Dusit Resort which is located on the eastern side of the main Petchkasem Road, north of the town, beyond the Hua Hin Airport tunnel and Palm Hills Golf course when heading towards Cha-am. Admission is free and refreshments and food are available to buy.
