Gentlemen,
I hope you’re all well and enjoying your CRICKET SEASONS?
Most of you will know that Darjeeling CC make an annual pilgrimage to that well-known cricketing nation, Thailand every year in April for the Chiang Mai Sixes Tournament. It has become habit for us have a warm-up Sixes Day every year in Dubai.
This year we’ve been urged to take things a little further.
I have booked an ICC Oval from 10am – 6pm on both Friday 18th & Saturday 19th March this year
so we have the opportunity of having a SIXES FESTIVAL over the 2 Days.
Obviously, the amount of games will depend on the number of teams – but as an
estimate it would be a minimum of 3 per day
(or 6 for the whole weekend). Estimated Match fees to cover the cost of the ground and would be around AED1k
per day per team (AED2k for the weekend) – we’d then add on a little for balls,
umpires, water etc… The price, of course will depend on how many teams enter –
but it shouldn’t vary much beyond the above.
Naturally, I can go into more detail as we go ahead – but firstly, can you let me know if you’d be interested in entering a SQUAD of 10 players (we can be a little flexible as we’re going over two days)…?
We will give special preference for teams coming from abroad/ other Emirates
