The Maldives’ victory in the 2005 ACC Emerging Nations Tournament was the nation’s first ever international sporting triumph. The team received a rapturous welcome on their return from Thailand and a presidential reception. Some will say it was a small tournament but if it had not been held and if the Maldives had not won, cricket would not have received the boost it did nation-wide. The Maldives successfully defended their title in 2006 and have continued to shine in subsequent ACC tournaments. The age-group cricketers promise much and may indeed deliver on that promise in the next few years as their skills and competitive instincts develop. Fast-bowling is a particular strength along with some lusty hitting. Cricket is the game to play now in the islands and sponsors and the media are increasingly behind the sport. Development has been managed well by the CBM and turf wickets have been installed for practise along with a well-participated tournament structure. There has been a fall in junior involvement which is cause for some concern however. Should they manage to strike the most productive balance between their senior players and the youngsters in the national team, the Maldives will start to make rapid progress up the ranks. Victory in the ACC Trophy Challenge at the end of 2010 was a significant triumph. |
