Hong Kong (April 5, 2023) – With 313 runs Sri Lankan Captain Chamari Athapaththu was the top run scorer at the first edition of the Gencor FairBreak Invitational last year in Dubai. However, the Falcons fell at the final hurdle in 2022, and typical of the explosive star, her sights are set on the trophy for the Falcons. Chamari said: “I am really excited to be here and join the Falcons. Hopefully we will have a good season. Last year we were in the finals, but we didn’t win the trophy, this year we will try our best to be champions.
“We have a good environment and culture here in our team and especially Jo (Joanne Broadbent) our coach, who really does well to encourage all the girls. Suzie Bates is a great captain, and we have superb cricketers like Danni Wyatt, and the dangerous Marizanne Kapp are all on my team and I am happy to engage with them and play with them.
“FairBreak is a great tournament and I have learnt a lot from my teammates like Suzie Bates, and Danni Wyatt. We shared a dressing room and our experiences, and then I took back my learnings to Sri Lanka and shared it with the younger players there.
FairBreak is a very important tournament for the Associate Players, and I really hope they will continue next year well.”
“A lot of youngsters from Sri Lanka are looking forward to these games, and ~I hope they will support me and all of us in the teams.”
“FairBreak gives opportunities to the Associate players and that’s why I like this tournament, and we all learn so much from each other.”
The Gencor FairBreak Invitational T20 tournament for women underlines FairBreak Global’s deep commitment to building the women’s game from the grassroots, while offering Associate nations a chance to showcase their talent.
The tournament is currently underway and is being played from April 3-16, 2023, at the iconic Kowloon Cricket Club in Hong Kong. The two-week tournament brings together some of the world’s top women players, from both Test and Associate nations.
