Shahid Afridi’s Royals will face Virender Sehwaq’s Diamonds in an ice cricket match in the snowy climes of the Swiss Alps on February 8 and February 9.

This prestigious event at St. Moritz includes a Black Tie Gala Dinner with cricketing legends such as Shoaib Akhtar, Abdul Razzaq, Mahela Jayawardena, Jacques Kallis, Michael Hussey, Virender Sehwag, Shahid Afridi, Graeme Smith and many more stars.

One of the most famous holiday destinations in the world, St. Moritz is home to exceptional leisure and sporting facilities and hosts events on the world stage. In winter, the lake freezes up and becomes a playground for winter sporting events, which will now include Ice Cricket venue.

The lake freezes into an extremely thick layer of ice, which then is covered by the soft snowfall, enabling the lake to withstand more than 200 tons of weight that makes it the perfect area to construct a pavilion village and grandstands to watch and support the festivities.

The ‘Cricket Pitch’ consists of an artificial turf carpet laid out on the perfectly groomed snow field, which will make way for two T20 matches to take place. The cricket matches will be followed by an entertainment program on the lake where the party will continue with a gala black tie event.
