Hong Kong played their first ever One Day International against Bangladesh at Sinhalese Sports Club Ground (pictured) in the 2004 Asia Cup.

From their first match in 2004 to their final match in 2008, 20 players represented the Hong Kong cricket team in One Day Internationals (ODIs).[1] A One Day International is an international cricket match between two representative teams, each having ODI status, as determined by the International Cricket Council (ICC).[2] An ODI differs from Test matches in that the number of overs per team is limited, and that each team has only one innings.[3]

The Hong Kong Cricket Association was formed in 1968, replacing the Hong Kong Cricket League. They were admitted to the ICC as an associate member in 1969.[4] Hong Kong have never gained ODI status in their own right, but have been accorded ODI status twice for the Asia Cup. Hong Kong played its first ODI against Bangladesh in the 2004 Asia Cup. The team played a further ODI in that competition against Pakistan.[5] Their next ODIs came four years later in the 2008 Asia Cup, with Hong Kong playing two matches against Pakistan and India.[5] Hong Kong struggled against their Test playing opponents, losing heavily in all their ODIs, including a 256 run defeat to India at National Stadium, Karachi. Hong Kong are yet to achieve temporary ODI status through the World Cricket League, though they have qualified for the 2013 World Cup Qualifier.[6] Should they qualify for the 2015 World Cup their matches in the World Cup would carry with them ODI status.

In total, Hong Kong played four ODIs.[5] Three players played in all four ODIs: Afzaal Haider, Najeeb Amar and Tabarak Dar. Dar has scored more runs than any other Hong Kong player with 101. Three players have acted as wicket-keeper, with Tim Smart and Nasir Hameed wicket-keeping in one match each in 2004 and James Atkinson in two matches in 2008. Three players have each taken 4 wickets, among these Ilyas Gul has the best bowling average of 28.25. Two players have captained Hong Kong: Rahul Sharma and Tabarak Dar. Sharma captained the team in their two matches in the 2004 Asia Cup and Dar captained the team in their two matches in the 2008 Asia Cup.[7]

This list includes all players who have played at least one ODI match and is initially arranged in the order of debut appearance. Where more than one player won their first cap in the same match, those players are initially listed alphabetically at the time of debut.
