The Estonian Cricket Association roots began with a small Estonian called 'Little K'and a large Indian called 'Anil-mal' in 1998 and has since evolved into a registered sports club and now Association with a regular summer fixtures list involving teams from the UK and Scandanavia.
The game is played in Estonia from May until mid September with the majority of fixtures in June - August when playing conditions are perfect. The ethos of the club is very much centred of the idea of social cricket.
Currently the National team is the lowest ranked in the world, below Mozambique and Sierra Leone, although the Estonian National players dispute this! As touring these two nations is not likely for the forseeable future, Estonia are happy to remain the best example of development of grass roots cricket in the world.
We have now started our very own Ice Cricket tournament in the winter and have even played indoors in the former Soviet missile factory in Tallinn. Watch now!
We would like to thanks all our visitors to Estonia, (Sir Tim Rice and the Heartaches for example) for you are the true pioneers and exponents of the noble art of cricket. (sniff sniff)
We are also able to provide eleven a side indoor facilities to weather affected games, making touring to Estonia a worry free option!
