New 60-ball Cricket Tournament from West Indies…

Published

on

West Indies Cricket Association and Caribbean Premier League organizers have introduced a new 60-ball cricket tournament called ‘THE 6ixty’.

The first-ever THE 6ixty Tournament is scheduled to play from August 24-28 in St. Kitts and Nevis with the participation of 6 men’s teams and 3 women’s teams. According to the West Indies Cricket Association, the tournament will feature a number of top cricketers.

West Indies Cricket authorities have introduced several new rules that are unique to THE 6ixty tournament.

In this tournament, each team will get only 6 wickets instead of 10 wickets. That is, with the loss of the 6th wicket, all the players are considered to have been dismissed.

One team has two powerplay overs, and in THE 6ixty series, the batting team has the potential to win even a third powerplay over if they want to. But to get the third powerplay, the batsmen have to hit two sixes in the first 12 balls.

The bowling team will have to bowl five consecutive overs at one end in this new series, although bowling will generally be able to switch the side from over to over.

West Indies Cricket emphasizes that if a team fails to bowl 10 overs in 45 minutes, it will have to bowl the last 6 balls without a fielder.

This decision has been made in recognition of the outstanding service rendered by Mrs. Herat towards the founding of Women’s Cricket Association in the country.

It was under her leadership that the Sri Lanka Women’s Cricket Association was established in 1997, where she served as its founding president.

Accordingly, in memory of her from 2026 onwards, the Major Club Women’s 50-Over
Tournament will be named the Gwen Herat Memorial Trophy.

“The significant role played by the late Mrs. Gwen Herat in laying the foundation for women’s cricket is well remembered by the cricketing fraternity. By naming a tournament in her honor, Sri Lanka Cricket aims to preserve her legacy for future generations,” said Mr. Bandula
Dissanayake.

Marking this significant initiative, the family of Mrs. Gwen Herat presented a trophy to Sri Lanka Cricket, which will be awarded to the champions of future editions of the tournament.
The handover was carried out by Mrs. Herat’s family members, including her daughters, Shamarra Herat and Parveen Herat, and her son, Avancka Herat.

The Gwen Herat Memorial Trophy was officially handed over to Mr. Bandula Dissanayake, Honorary Secretary of Sri Lanka Cricket, in the presence of Mr. Ashley de Silva, CEO of Sri Lanka Cricket, and distinguished guests Mr. Chandra Schaffter and Mr. Hemaka Amarasuriya.

Sri Lanka Cricket could be on the verge of a major leadership shake-up, with reports suggesting that President Shammi Silva is expected to resign from his post on Wednesday, potentially ending a seven-year tenure at the helm of the governing body.

According to a report published by Daily Mirror, Silva’s anticipated resignation follows a request from the government, signaling possible political involvement in the administration of the sport.

The report further indicates that former Member of Parliament and State Minister Eran Wickramaratne is likely to be appointed as the Interim President of Sri Lanka Cricket, should Silva step down as expected.

Silva, who was first elected to the position in February 2019, has maintained his leadership through multiple election victories, overseeing Sri Lanka Cricket during a period marked by both challenges and transitions.

While no official confirmation has yet been issued, the reported developments have already sparked widespread discussion within cricketing and political circles, raising questions about the future direction of the country’s cricket administration.
