Cricket in Connecticut

Among the treasures of New England are the various opportunities for athletic competitions in a variety of sports. Some of these are well-known, others are not noticed by many people.

Falling in the latter category is cricket. Popular in the British Commonwealth of Nations, it also has some players here in New England. Connecticut, for example, has a number of cricket teams.

One of these teams, the Danbury Cricket Club, is planning a special event, labeled the "first of its kind in Danbury" - an "Over 30 vs Under 30" match. Among other things, the event is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Danbury Cricket Club.
