The drivers of change may initially have been the Asian and Anglo-Antipodean expatriates but subsequent progress has all been due to the fact that once the game was taken to the indigenous population, Thai youth cricketing activity has flourished. Recent years have been the story of the indigenous Thais who have taken to the game in increasing numbers, with more than 11,000 juniors playing cricket at some level. These numbers have more than doubled since 2012. And of these Thais, the national women’s team has particularly shone. Winners of the ACC Women’s Championship at the start of the year won them a place at the Women’s World Twenty20 Qualifier in Ireland in July where they beat Canada, Netherlands and Zimbabwe to finish a highly creditable fifth out of eight. This, it would be salutary to be reminded, from a team that was formed only in 2007. Thailand’s women confirmed their prowess by winning the streamlined ACC Women’s Premier at the start of 2014. “They have a respect for the values of the game which is refreshing and true to what we believe to be the ‘Spirit of the Game’,” says Association Chief Executive Officer Mohideen Kader. The boys were good enough to be in the top six at the2014 ACC U-16 Premier League. Greater exposure to competitive cricket will raise playing standards and allow them to climb the ACC tournament rankings where they are currently just outside the Elite group. “If cricket is to prosper in Thailand then it needs to develop the local cricketing human capital,” says Mr. Kader, “not just players but umpires and coaches too.” |
