Cricket Hong Kong General Manager – High Performance Mark Farmer had this to say: “We’re incredibly excited to have Epic Group’s support again to run the Epic Group All Stars Series for a second year. The continued absence of International cricket makes the series a critical part of our domestic cricket calendar. It provides an exciting and competitive platform for Hong Kong’s best cricketers to showcase their skills both domestically and around the world.”
“This years tournament will also provide a key role in Hong Kong’s preparation for the ICC Challenge League Tournament to be held in 2022.”
