Speaking of the competition, Duleep Mendis, Chief Development Officer of Oman Cricket said, “This event was in the works for a long time and I’m extremely excited for its imminent launch. It is an opportunity, for those that play cricket to display their talent in a competitive setting. We also want to encourage more people to take up the sport and I think this tournament will succeed in doing so. A big thanks to all the teams that have signed up and I wish all of them the very best”.
