The Hong Kong Cricket Sixes tournament, returning after seven years, will see Robin Uthappa lead India. Scheduled from November 1-3, the competition features twelve nations, including past champions India and defending champions South Africa. Matches will take place at the Mission Road Ground in Mong Kok.

World Cup-winning keeper-batter Robin Uthappa is set to captain the Indian team at the Hong Kong Cricket Sixes tournament, organizers revealed on Saturday.

Joining Uthappa are Kedar Jadhav, Stuart Binny, Manoj Tiwary, and left-arm spinner Shahbaz Nadeem. Wicketkeeper Shreevats Goswami and batter Bharat Chapli will also reinforce the squad.
