The format for the tournament is 50 overs and will involve six countries; Italy, Bermuda, Jersey, Kenya, Uganda and Hong Kong. The six countries will play each other once throughout the tournament.

Hong Kong Men’s Coach Trent Johnston had this to say “As we head into this tournament in Oman we have created an excellent environment and are very much committed to applying the lessons learnt from our previous two tours. Our young team has risen to many challengers and with eight debutants in Bangladesh I’m excited to see what this group will bring in Oman.”

He went on to say “Although we aren’t playing in Hong Kong as previously planned we are looking forward to playing in Oman, facilities we know well”.

The team departs for Oman on the 25th November for a preparation tour in the lead up to the tournament.
