About the Phuket Cricket Week

Welcome to the official blog of the Phuket Cricket Week

The Phuket Cricket Week is run by the Asian Cricket Sixes Tour (ACST) (www.cricketsixes.com)

The ACST continues to organise superb club cricket events at fantastic locations across Asia Pacific since it was founded in 2000.

The Phuket Cricket Week comprises of the ICC Award Winning Phuket International Cricket Sixes and the Thalang International 7's (formerly known as the Kata International 7's)

The Sixes were first held in 2004, while the 7's made its first appearance in 2012. Both events have helped raise substantial sums through the kindness of its worldwide participants to assist in the next generation of Thais falling in love with the game through the Phuket Cricket Group's Junior Development Fund. The ACST would like to thank the PCG for their continued and invaluable support as the Phuket Cricket week continues to flourish.

All enquiries for anyone wishing to come along and make friendships through the game, whether as a team or individuals should contact the ACST Chairman, Michael 'Cat' Maher at mmaher.padmir@bigpond.com or by telephone on +61 407 385 481.

We hope that you enjoy looking through the archives of this brilliant event. Look at the index page down the right-hand side and click on the year and feature you wish to see. Content will continually be updated. If you see an untitled image you can assist with, please get in touch!

2005. Stadium Preparation & Floodlit T20 Photos



2005 Stadium Preparation

To prepare the Karon Stadium from being a basic football pitch, to having a deck suitable for cricket takes some doing. Here are some images of Head Curator Dixie Joy, and his team of willing volunteers getting the stadium fit and safe for purpose.











Floodlit T20

A great innovation of the Sixes came with the introduction of the T20 Floodlit Cricket Game, featuring all the best players of the tournament, as an Australian side led by Trevor Chappell took on the Rest of the World, captained by Kenny Jackson.
