The vice-captain of the Bhutan Women’s Cricket Team, Anju Gurung, is selected to participate in the first world FairBreak Invitational Women’s Cricket T20 tournament. The tournament will take place in Hong Kong next year.

The FairBreak Invitational tournament is the first privately funded tournament for women’s cricket organized by FairBreak Global in collaboration with the National Cricket Association of Hong Kong.

According to the Bhutan Cricket Council Board, the 28-year-old left-handed fast bowler will play from one of the six teams alongside some of the world’s greatest international female cricketers. The Bhutan Cricket Council Board wrote to FairBreak Global after learning about the tournament. The Board sent preliminary videos of some potential players from Bhutan, and Anju Gurung was selected.

FairBreak is a global initiative designed to create pathways for women to have better access to opportunities, education and high-level performance roles.
