The Stage Is Set in Cossonay

New Names, Fresh Energy

Two sides step into ECN action for the first time. Embrach Cricket Academy have no ECN team ranking available because this is their debut ECN event, and they have played in zero ECN events so far.

Geneva XI Stars Cricket Academy are in the same position: no ECN ranking is available because this is also their debut ECN event, and they too come in with zero previous ECN appearances.

That mix of experienced teams and debutants gives the event a fascinating edge, especially with new players looking to make their first big mark.

Geneva’s Idrees Ul Haque Brings Star Power

If one name jumps off the page before the first ball, it is Idrees Ul Haque of Geneva. He owns the most ECN runs among players in this event with 786, and also has the highest ECN batter mark here at 97.

Idrees is not just about accumulation either. He has struck the most Maximos among players in the event with 88, and he also owns the highest individual score in this player pool: 98 off 26 balls for Geneva against Zurich Nomads CC on 7 Aug 2023.

There is another twist too: Idrees also carries the highest ECN bowling mark among players in this event, at 51. That makes him one of the most intriguing all-round figures to watch in Cossonay.

Bowlers With Serious Credentials

Cossonay CC have major bowling pedigree in Ashwin Vinod, the leading wicket-taker in ECN events among players here with 44 wickets. He is also the most experienced ECN player in this event, with 43 matches played.

Andrew Ryan, also of Cossonay CC, brings some eye-catching bowling numbers of his own. Among players in this event, he has the best economy rate at 10.3, the best strike rate at 7.8, and the best average at 13.4.

Geneva’s Tahirkhan Ahmadzai also owns a standout moment: the best bowling figures among players in this event, 4 for 16 from 2.0 overs for Cossonay CC against Zurich Lions on 7 Aug 2023.

Batters Ready to Light It Up

Massoud Kabir of Geneva has the highest batting average among players in the event at 32.0, giving Geneva another strong name in the run-scoring conversation.

For Embrach Cricket Academy, Arbab Khan brings serious hitting intrigue into the debut campaign. He has the highest Maximo rate among players in the event at 30.0 and the highest batting strike rate at 300.0.

With proven ECN names, two debut teams, and a six-day schedule in Cossonay, ECS Switzerland, Cossonay, 2026 has all the ingredients for a memorable week of club cricket.
