We are delighted to confirm that Sano will host a three-team men’s international series between Japan, Cook Islands and Thailand at the Sano International Cricket Ground in May this year. 

The T20 international matches will begin on May 7th with each team playing each other twice before a final on the morning of Sunday 11th May.

Following the tournament, Japan and Cook Islands will also play a two-match series on the 13th and 14th May. 

We hope the Japan Cricket Community will come out and support the team. 

Head of Cricket Operations Alan Curr said: “We are excited to welcome these two teams to Japan, both visiting for the first time. Both teams have had some excellent results in 2024 and should provide good opposition for our team as they prepare for the World Cup Qualifying Asia/EAP Regional Final later in the year.”
