It was a disaster yesterday. Hong Kong was really pathetic. They conceded close to 200 runs while fielding first and then lost the match by 150 runs. And this is the reason why I want ICC to prohibit teams sending 100% foreign citizen squads to such tournaments. Hong Kong stole the slot from teams with native players (Nepal, Malaysia.etc) and then put up a pathetic performance against Pakistan. If the ICC doesn't take concrete actions, at least the ACC should make it mandatory to have at least 3-4 native players in the XI.
This is an important fact. If almost all the players of a country are foreigners then that country has no identity. They can take maximum two players but if most of the players are from outside then it will not bring anything positive attitude for cricket. ICC should take a decision on this matter soon. The recent major disaster in Hong Kong has discouraged cricket fans. When there is no professionalism in cricket, such type of condition usually happen.Usually when a team loss, they feel ashamed as they have to face their nation, but in this case, hong kong does not have any local players in their team. Isn't there any cricket talent in their own country
Hong Kong has no players of its own. And I hear everyone is a part-time player. All are involved in other activities or jobs and occasionally play in Hong Kong jerseys. What else can we expect from such a team? If Hong Kong had kept these players permanently in the team with sufficient wages, and given them facilities like other teams, then maybe they would have batted a little more responsibly. However, as long as the people of Hong Kong are interested in cricket, we will continue to see such erratic and poor performances.
