Speak to anyone who knows anything about cricket in Malaysia and they’ll say, “Malaysia has the best facilities amongst the non-Test countries of Asia.” Its abilities to organise and deliver a top-class international tournament were demonstrated by the 2006 DLF Tri-Series between Australia, India and the West Indies in September 2006 and the 16-nation ICC U/19 World Cup in 2008. The ACC has found Malaysia an accommodating host for numerous tournaments. Notwithstanding the considerable commercial and administrative acumen that is evident among many of those connected with cricket in Malaysia, cricket has not received its due reward in the national consciousness. Much of that is due to the core national consciousness not being geared to cricket or indeed participatory sport. Malaysia has produced one outstanding cricketer in recent years, their former captain Suresh Navaratnam, an all-rounder who impressed the visiting Australians mightily in his net sessions with them during the DLF series and who has enjoyed something of a renaissance in the 2010 ACC Trophy Elite. To create the next generation, using the revenue from the Tri-Series and U/19 World Cup, a far-reaching development program has been established to harness talent across peninsular and eastern Malaysia. Signs of a revival in national fortunes were evident in 2008 with two players being chosen as Players of the Tournament in the 2008 ACC Trophy Elite, batsman Suhan Kumar and bowler Dinesh Muthuraman. Suhan Kumar, national captain since 2009, has benefited significantly from time spent on a scholarship to Australia. The women have impressed too, reaching the Final of the 2008 ACC U-19 Women’s Championship. Malaysian cricket is going through a critical period in 2010, building on its undoubted promise will see it be more than mid-table perennials. A period of stagnation could see others overtake them.
