The Chiang Mai International Cricket Sixes has been held at the Gymkhana Club since 1988 as well as local cricket. In October 2024, the cricket ground bore the brunt of the worst flooding to hit the city since records began. The whole ground was covered in several inches of silt deposited from the Ping River as well as being badly flooded.
Work has seen the silt removed, leaving the ground without any turf. Much damage was also caused to equipment around the bar and office area belonging to the Sixes, which requires extensive repairs or replacement.
The committee has a costed plan of action to back up what has already been carried out and it will be an extremely expensive operation. It is likely to take up to two years to complete fully, owing to the seasons and climate in northern Thailand.
If you can help the restoration by donating whatever amount possible, the tournament committee would be extremely grateful so that funds are available to get the work completed as soon as possible. The money is being collected by committee member Michael Burns in Australia and then forwarded to the Sixes account.
