Message from Russel James!
Hello to all those involved in the ICC East Asia-Pacific
Cricket Challenge! I hope you have all well and truly recovered with
the tournament now a month behind us.
I had hoped to send this email a little earlier however
I have only just arrived back in the office after a month's holiday.
On behalf of the ICC East Asia-Pacific Region, particularly
myself, I just wanted to pass on my sincere thanks and congratulations
to all involved in the tournament - I'm sure you will all agree that it
was a resounding success. Although I never really had any doubts
as to the ability of the JCA to pull off a successful event, tournaments
of any size are always difficult to manage, so it was pleasing from my
point of view that things ran so smoothly. This was no doubt due
to the meticulous planning and preparation of the organising committee
- for this I again congratulate you on a job well done.
I hope all of those directly or indirectly involved in
the tournament are proud of their efforts - Tim, Martin and myself are
certainly proud of what you have collectively been able to achieve over
the past 10 months or so. The challenge now is to consolidate on
the success of the tournament and ensure that Japan cricket continues to
prosper over the coming years.
On a more personal note, I would again like to thank
those organising committee members who provided me with tremendous support
in the lead up to the event and during the two weeks I was in Japan, you
certainly made my job a little easier. Specifically, I would like
to single out Robert, Kei, Saida, Alex and Mark McTamney for all of their
efforts related to the event - great work guys and I cannot thank you enough.
Look forward to catching up again in the near future.
Kind regards
Russell
