Singapore Cricket Club Twenty 20 International Carnival of Cricket

Welcome to the Singapore Cricket Club’s Twenty20 official website, dedicated to a new and exciting cricket tournament featuring several leading cricket clubs from around Asia and Australia.

This is our inaugural Twenty20 event, the brainchild of our cricket Convener, Ashok Mahtani, and is to be held in August 2009 at both our own Padang (site of many historic events over the years) and the Kallang cricket field (used by the Singapore National teams in their matches against Overseas and International sides) – both are turf wickets!

The Twenty20 tournament will be the centerpiece of what will also be a cricket carnival in the sense that there will be plenty of other activities included for all the family, mainly at the Padang. As matches will pretty much take up the whole day (over three days), activities will be provided for youngsters, including cricket activities, to take part in and enjoy. Food and refreshments will be on hand too so that spectators can relax and plan to enjoy a full day’s cricket action, especially on Saturday and Sunday (the latter being the finals day).

Cricket is a long established sport in Singapore and the SCC has been at the forefront of the game since our founding in 1852. Our new Twenty20 tournament is an exciting challenge to take the game forward and this year’s tournament is going to be the first of many over the years ahead.

Welcome to the Singapore Cricket Club. Come on down and enjoy the fireworks that will set the Padang, and Kallang, alight.

A. Michael Grice
Tournament Director and Chairman.
