After a successful launch in 2016, Hong Kong Cricket Association are offering the chance for interested parties to purchase a newly created fifth team for the second instalment of the Hong Kong T20 Blitz.

The event will be held from March 8-12 in 2017, with up to five overseas players permitted from each team.

After being assigned a region, owners will have the opportunity to name the team, design playing strips and sell their own sponsorships to cover running costs.

Entry will be determined by application with a reserve price set at HK$125,000.
