Gulf Sports International Limited organized the first successful hard tennis ball cricket tournament, which was won by Pacific-Vetures Dubai at Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

The tournament was created to unify diverse cultures and encourage people to engage with eachother through sport.

GSIL was founded by like-minded cricket lovers who wanted to unify communities through sport and this led to the formation of hard tennis ball cricket, where players of all abilities can enjoy playing a fun sport.

To show commitment to the tournament GSIL raised a total cash price of AED 90,000 and awarded it to the teams who made the finals.
