List of Hong Kong ODI cricketers

 * Nominator(s): Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 22:37, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because because I feel it meets the FL criteria and follows a similar design to current FLs such as List of Bermuda ODI cricketers. The list is also complete and as Hong Kong don't play at this level anymore, it is unlikely to change in the near future. It was previously a featured list just over four years ago and was on my radar early in 2012 to promote to FL, but time never permitted me to complete the nomination. Feedback most welcome!

 * "A ODI differs" should be An ODI - ✅
 * "Hong Kong have never gained ODI status in their own right, but have been accorded ODI status twice on a temporary basis for participation in the Asia Cup, in which the matches played held ODI status." Think this could do with a reference. - If only I could find one!  Looked long and hard, with no luck thus far.
 * Is the name sorting correctly? It appears to be a cross between first and last name Pakistani players are generally sorted by first name, see here and per a discussion here.  Nine of Hong Kong's squad alone in the 2008 Asian Cup were born in Pakistan.

Comment
 * For the request for a reference for the part saying they were afforded temporary ODI status, as big as the internet is, I can find no source for that. I don't have either the 2007 or 2009 Wisden Almanack, so perhaps it is mentioned in there somewhere. For now I have included a note explaining why they were given temporary ODI status.

 * "playing two matches against Pakistan and India., though struggling...". Period should be gone, and the comma should be moved to before the reference. How did three supporters miss something like this? ✅ - Yes, how did we miss that! That's what this process is for :)
 * "but have qualified for the 2014 World Cup Qualifier, where qualification...". Too much qualifying in this sentence. ✅ - Lost one
