Hong Kong Cricket Association has announced an exciting Twenty20 competition for the best men and women cricket players in Hong Kong. Played over a four week period starting on July 18th at Kai Tak Cricket Ground, the 2010 Elite Player Series will conclude on August 8th while the Women’s Series will start on September 5th. The series is to give the selectors an opportunity to select the 20-man National squad for the next 12 months, as well as the 16-woman National squad for 2010-11.
In the men's series, teams will be drawn from the best senior and junior players but they won't be playing for their respective Clubs. Rather, players from the different clubs will be mixed up to give them greater experience at playing with different team-mates.Teams will be obliged and encouraged to give their junior players (i.e. under 19 and younger) leading roles in the matches.
