Cricket Hong Kong’s Player Pathway is illustrated in the graphic below. The integrated player pathway has two tiers: Development (All Stars) and Hong Kong, China representative squads. The two tiers help ensure Cricket Hong Kong is providing regular opportunities for players to be identified, developed, selected, and confirmed.

There are three youth age groups and two senior squads that forms Cricket Hong Kong, China’s men’s pathway. The pathway illustrates the various levels of cricket that a player can pass through as they progress towards reaching the Hong Kong, China Men’s squad.

Depending on their age and ability, players can enter the pathway at any stage. As players progress through the pathway the focus shifts from development at the Under 13 and Under 16 All Stars level towards performance at the Hong Kong Under 16, Under 19 and Men’s levels. The Under 19 Squad is the final youth age group squad before players push towards selection in the Hong Kong, China Men’s squad.

Development (All Stars) Program: The Development Program operates at the Under 13 and Under 16 age groups. At the U13 and U16 age-groups three development (All Stars) squads are selected; Kowloon Lions, Hong Kong Islanders, New Territories Tigers.

Hong Kong, China Program: The Hong Kong, China Program operates at the Under 16 and Under 19 age groups. Process and timing of squad selection is dependent on the timing of tours and tournaments.
