The inaugural Thailand International Cricket Sixes Tournament gets underway tomorrow at the Harrow International School in Bangkok.
The tournament is being organised by the Asian Cricket Sixes Tour, in conjunction with the Southerners Cricket Club of Bangkok.
The event has attracted an interesting mix of 10 international teams from around the world.
The hosts, The Southerners are fielding two teams consisting of players who are experienced competitors in the Bangkok cricket scene.
The international touring club, the CBB's will have three sides present, with their squads consisting of players flying in from as far as England, Switzerland, Australia, Korea and India.
Asian Tour regulars, The Bounty Buccaneers of Malaysia, travel hoping to add to their two trophies already earned in Phuket and Shanghai earlier this year.
One of the tournament favourites will be Etihad CC who hail from the United Arab Emirates if their form in previous Sixes tournaments is to be taken as a guide.
The Shanghai Dragons travel from China and are also expected to make a major impact.
Jakarta Rebels are a multi cultural team from the Jakarta Cricket Association League in Indonesia who may spring a surprise or two on the Tour regulars.
The final entrants are The Rough Edged Gents who are a new, young side who have risen from the obscurity of Pattaya cricket in Thailand.
The tournament promises excellent competitive cricket, played in the spirit of the game as well as providing participants with ample opportunity to socialise. Today, the opening cocktail party is being staged at the Londoner Brew Pub in Sukhumvit Soi 33, with a barbeque the following evening at The Crossbar in Sukhumvit Soi 23.
The teams are staying at the Chaophya Park Hotel and Resort, which has worked tirelessly with the ACST in the build up to the event.
Spectators are welcome to watch the games at the Harrow International School, which is adjacent to Don Muang Airport, just off the tollway. Admission is free and refreshments are available at the ground.
