New Delhi New Delhi: The fast-paced format of the game, Hong Kong Sixes has made a comeback with a bang, putting up some spectacular performances to thoroughly entertain the fans. Sri Lanka was crowned champions for the 2024 edition. Hong Kong's Nizakat Khan, who performed well during the competition, expressed his happiness and thanked Cricket Hong Kong, China for hosting the tournament. According to a release issued by Cricket Hong Kong, he said, “Hong Kong Sixes returns after a gap of seven years. It is a very unique, fast-paced and action-packed format. It is a great cricket experience for the players. The format is pure entertainment for the audience. I would like to give credit to Cricket Hong Kong, Anurag Bhatnagar and our team president Burji Shroff. The most important thing is that they have worked very hard to revive the tournament and have made this HK6 a huge success.
I am very grateful to CHK for bringing back the HK6.” Nizakat, who was born in Pakistan but moved to Hong Kong permanently in 2004, made his T20I debut against Nepal in March 2014. He believes Nizakat also said that the Hong Kong Sixes is a great opportunity for the players to showcase their potential at the professional level and the preparation process. This is a great opportunity to showcase your potential. CHK is also trying to bring back Hong Kong Blitz which is T20 franchise cricket. If that happens, it will be a huge thing for us because it will open up more opportunities for the players.” “The players feel that this is a format that is fast-paced. Training is really important. We work on our skills in the same way as batsmen practice long distance shots. Bowlers, on the other hand, work more on slower balls, yorkers and different variations.
It's definitely a tough format for the bowlers and the batsmen have a bit of an advantage,” he said. “It's a good opportunity for the players to showcase their talent and open doors for franchise cricket in different parts of the world,” he said. Get it. HK6 is the kind of competition where the franchise can get a lot of talent. To be honest, we have some players in Hong Kong cricket who have the ability to play franchise cricket. We just need an opportunity to showcase our talent.” The right-handed cricketer is confident that the format has a lot of potential to gain more popularity globally. “Definitely, this format can get some popularity globally , because this is a tournament that can end in a span of three days. As I said earlier, it is a very entertaining form of the game and attracts a lot of fans. Cricket Hong Kong is trying its best to take it to other countries as well. This will be a great initiative to bring another form of cricket,” said Nizakat.
