\nIt is a particularly exciting week for women\u2019s cricket in the region, where in Iran, a women\u2019s tournament kicks off in Tehran, Qatar, along with Malaysia\u2019s Women\u2019s Super League getting off the ground featuring five teams that will play 14 matches and can be watched live on ICC. For the first time, Kuwait will host Bahrain in the \u201cYalla Shabab\u201d (Le\u2019s Go Guys) series, from 25 to 27 April at Sulaibiya Cricket Ground.
\nThe three-match, 100% indigenous Arab T20 series is designed to encourage local support ahead of the 2030 and 2034 Asian Games in Doha and Riyadh respectively. In Hong Kong, the hosts and China will deliver their men\u2019s and women\u2019s Premier League Finals Day on 5 May.

\nThe ICC\u2019s Criiio training and education programme will be live in Bahrain, Mongolia, Qatar and Tajikistan, while junior cricket and school\u2019s events will be hosted in Cambodia, China, the Maldives, Myanmar, Oman, Saudi Arabia and Thailand. This special week of cricket coincides with the United Nations\u2019 observance of April 6 as the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace.
\nThis initiative aims to strengthen the spirit of cricket throughout the region, symbolizing sportsmanship and unity. With this in mind, ICC Asia invited its members to engage by organizing cricket-related events and meetings during this time. Aminul Islam, Regional Manager of ICC Asia said, \u201cThe enthusiastic response has been truly overwhelming, and we are thrilled with the buy-in from our members.
\n\u201cThe unique combination of broad reach, the power to overcome barriers, and the capability for low-cost, high-impact engagement makes Asia Cricket Week an effective tool in achieving our development goals. \u201cWe are deeply impressed by the depth and breadth of each program designed by our members. Their genuine interest and dedicated efforts fill us with optimism for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
