India will face Pakistan on November 7.
The 12 edition of the Hong Kong Sixes 2025 will run from November 7 to November 9 at the Tin Kwong Road Recreation Ground. The tournament made a comeback in 2024 after a seven-year absence.
Fans must be looking forward to witnessing the unconventional, five-over league. The former wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik will be leading India in the Hong Kong Sixes 2025. Notably, all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin was also set to feature in the league.
But unfortunately, a knee injury has sidelined him from the event as well as the BBL 2026. Another former Indian player, Robin Uthappa, has replaced Ashwin in India’s Hong Kong Sixes squad.
Earlier, legendary players, including Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni, have also been a part of the tournament.
The Hong Kong Sixes started in 2002, with South Africa and England claiming the silverware five times each. India have clinched the title once so far, in 2005, while Sri Lanka lifted their second in 2024.
