Now domiciled in Singapore, Edwards will play for Singaporean club, United World College, which is fielding two teams.

Singapore national team coach, and former Australian Test player, Bruce Yardley, is also attending as key note speaker at the main function held last night.

Malaysian national team all-rounder, Rohan Selvaratnam, will play for one of Royal Selangor Sports Club's two teams, along with national coach, Lindsay Walker.

Former Tasmanian Sheffield Shield player Errol Harris will be a key member of the Perth Postels, veterans at Sixes events across South East Asia. The other Australian team will be Northern Territory club, Darwin CC.
