Sri Lanka’s women’s team captain Chamari Atapattu will play in the FaiBreak Invitational 2022 tournament this year, it is learnt.
Chamari Atapattu has been a mainstay in Sri Lanka’s batting attack for over a decade. According to the sources in Malaysia, where she is participating in the ICC’s Women’s Commonwealth Games Qualifiers, the organizers have recently signed her for this six-team tournament. There will be nineteen matches played for 15 days.
This tournament is sanctioned by the ICC. It will take place on May 1-15 this year in Dubai in conjunction with Cricket Hong Kong.
Owing to the current pandemic, Hong Kong airport is not operational for airlines from all countries and therefore the decision has been taken to play the matches in Dubai.
Leading healthcare group Gencor has come forward to be the main sponsor. Interestingly, this is the world’s first privately funded tournament in women’s cricket history.
