2016-17 Hong Kong National Women's Squad Announced

Hong Kong have announced the 17-player squad for the 2016-17 women’s national team.

The squad was selected from an open trial group who were all put through their paces over the last 10 weeks.

Director of Cricket and Head Coach of the women’s squad Charlie Burke is delighted about the selection: “The commitment and effort of the open squad players has made it really tough for the selectors to pick the National Squad. It is great to see a number of the players performing so well in club cricket such as Ruchi Venkatesh who has taken over 10 wickets in the league and scored over 250 runs, Shanzeen Shahzad has scored nearly 600 runs and taken 26 wickets in both forms of the game, Kary Chan has scored just under 500 runs and taken a few wickets.”

“Three of our players have played senior Men’s cricket during the season including Emma Lai, Pull To and Mariko Hill. We are as hungry for success and strong as we have ever been in the time I have been involved in Hong Kong Cricket and with the next 5 months of hard training before the Indian tour. We will be a hard side to beat”

“Our goal is to qualify for the Women’s World Cup and we will work as hard as ever to achieve this goal,” Burke said.

The Women have an exciting 2016 with a pre-tour to India in September and the ICC-Asia Women’s T20 Championships in October. The competition will include China, Nepal and Thailand with the winners going to the ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifiers.

香港板球總會公佈2016至17年度香港女子板球隊17人名單。

此港隊名單根據大名單過去10個星期的表現挑選而成。

香港板球總監兼女子港隊主教練貝卓禮對港隊名單感到歡喜：「早前進行操練及比賽的大名單球員均表現出無比的承擔，下了很多苦功，令選拔委員會的挑選過程非常困難。我很高興看到幾位在本地聯賽表現突出的球員成功入選，例如Ruchita Venkatesh、李芷心（Shanzeen Shahzad）及陳嘉瑩。」

「另外，港隊名單中有三位球員參與過本地男子聯賽賽事，包括賴穎琪、杜綺珊及Mariko Hill。我們對勝利的渴求前所未見，未來五個月將會進行艱苦的訓練，為作客印度備戰。我們將會成為一支不容忽視的球隊。」

貝卓禮指出：「我們的目標是晉身女子板球世界盃，我們將會出盡全力向這個目標進發。」

香港女子隊將會展開刺激的一年，首先會於九月到印度出戰熱身賽，之後會在10月出戰亞洲20回合制錦標賽，對手有中國、尼泊爾，泰國，將會角逐女子世界盃外圍賽資格。
