Interport matches

Interport matches refer to a series of cricket matches which took place in Asia from 1866 to 1987, between Ceylon, the Federated Malay States, Hong Kong, Malaya, Malaysia, Shanghai, Singapore and the Straits Settlements.

In February 2020, the Hong Kong team played a five-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series against Malaysia.

As a result of this tragedy the Interport matches, which had been regular fixtures since 1889, didn't return for five years.

Shanghai stopped participating in Interport cricket after 1948, when the Communist Party took over China.
