It was a pleasure for us to have met the right honourable Tunku Tan Sri Imran Ibni Almarhum Tuanku Jaafar who is Patron of Malaysia Cricket Association (MCA) who is presently in Kuching city. He was with us at yesterday’s press conference on the forthcoming International Cricket Council (ICC) Under-19 Women’s T20 Cricket World Cup to be held in Kuching on 18 to 28 January 2025.
We also had also officially unveiled the championship trophy which is now available for our local folks to see at Plaza Merdeka shopping mall and Viva City shopping mall. Kuching City is also the last leg of the trophy’s tour which had covered Kuala Lumpur and Johor before arriving here last night.
Teams from New Zealand, South Africa, Nigeria and Samoa are coming to Sarawak where in total 10 out of 42 matches in this year’s cricket world cup are to be played here. All matches are to be broadcasted “Live” to over 180 countries via Star Sports channel and through ICC official platforms and applications.
I had also congratulated our Sarawak women’s cricket team’s victory in the recent MCA 2025 Women’s T20 Interstate championship where they defeated Selangor by 44 runs in the finals. The continuous efforts by our Sarawak Cricket Association (SCA) supported by the Sarawak State Sport Council and Sarawak Sport Corporation, are expected to boost cricket’s popularity and reach across Sarawak especially among the youngsters and students.
We also extended best wishes to the Malaysian team captain, Nur Dania Syuhada who is a Sarawakian and the Malaysia women’s cricket team as they prepare for the World Cup. Our local folks are invited to attend the 10 cricket matches, which will feature the best women’s under-19 cricket teams from all over the world.
