Chief Executive of Cricket Fiji, Sitiveni Rokoro “We are proud to host our first ICC Women’s pathway event here in Suva, Fiji. This marks a major achievement for us, not only as our inaugural women’s event at this level, but also as the largest ICC Qualifier ever held in the East Asia-Pacific region, with the participation of eight nations.”
We are especially excited to welcome all participating teams and extend a warm “Bula vinaka” to each one of them. A special acknowledgment goes to the Philippines women’s team, who will be making their debut in an ICC pathway event. This tournament stands as a testament to the growth, inclusivity and regional collaboration that continues to drive the advancement of women’s cricket across the East Asia-Pacific. We are deeply grateful to the ICC and the EAP Regional Team for their continued support and commitment in helping us bring this event to life.”
