Papua New Guinea set to make ODI debut - chairman - 10-23-2014
Papua New Guinea are set to make their debut as a one-day international side, when they play two matches against Hong Kong on November 8 and 9 in Townsville, Australia's newest international venue. The teams will also play a three-day match between November 11 and 13.
Hong Kong and PNG were given ODI status by the ICC after finishing fifth and sixth at the World Cup Qualifier in New Zealand this year.
"We want to be performing on the world stage against the big boys in the next five years and regular, quality international cricket is critical to achieving this aim," Dipak Patel, the former New Zealand spinner who is the PNG coach, said. "As our first official ODI matches, the Digicel ODI series is the starting point of the next phase in Cricket PNG's evolution."

Nice Work Dipak. Good Luck & Best Wishes. I wish All the Best to PNG Team, provided
they do not cook & eat their opponents as their forefathers did.
