Hungarian Cricket (HC) have announced a 14-member men’s national squad, that will compete in the 6-nation Continental T20I Cup in Romania from September 01st – 06th, 2021. Romania will be hosting teams from Bulgaria, Malta, Czech Republic, Hungary and Luxembourg in the tournament, which will carry official T20I ranking points towards ICC Men’s T20I Team rankings table.
With travel restrictions getting a bit relaxed between some of the European Union countries, many countries are now trying to arrange matches/series to make up for the disappointment of losing out on playing in the European sub-regional qualifiers for 2022 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. Czech Republic hosted the 3-nation Central Europe Cup in May 2021 that involved Luxembourg and Austria, while Bulgaria hosted the 4-nation Sofia T20I tournament in June 2021 and Malta hosted Belgium for bi-lateral T20I series in July and toured Portugal for a Tri-series in August.
Hungary national squad will look to get back into the ICC Men’s T20I team rankings table, after having lost their positioning in 2021 due to failing to play enough fixtures in the relevant period for ranking consideration. The national squad were last seen in action during the 2019 Valletta Cup tournament held in Malta.
