Veteran's Cricket India

Why we felt there is need ?

  • All countries have veterans cricket boards established and they are actively organising and promoting cricket for the veterans in their respective countries
  • These boards are independent of their main cricket boards but supported by them at different levels – For example, ECB doesn't provide structured finance support to English veteran's team but they allow them to use the ECB logo. South Africa veterans are fully supported by SA board. Australian veterans have their own veteran's cricket board.
  • National championship in place in England for the last 35 year for players over 50+, 60+ and 70+ to compete at county level
  • Other countries like Australia, New Zealand and south Africa have similar tournaments in place
  • England and Australia veterans Ash's in 50 + and 60+ age group

Over 50s World Cup

In 2018 first ever Cricket world cup for 50+ was organised in Sydney Australia.

  • The organising committee invited all cricket playing nations and there were 8 teams who responded and participated
  • No response or participation from India
  • Similar efforts were made by the WC committee for 2020 WC in Cape town SA but they didn't get any response from India
  • This is mainly because we haven't got a structure in place for our veterans in India.

All the information about over 50s world cup is available on their main website: https://www.over50scricket.com

Journey So far

  • Group of people of Indian origin based outside India took interest and tracked Indians who are actively playing competitive cricket around the world
  • A trial was held in Mumbai in December 2019 and a team was sent to Cape Town for 2020 World Cup
  • All players paid for themselves. Unfortunately, tournament got postponed after couple of matches due to COVID19
  • Despite COVID19, we have managed to play three list A matches, one against England over 50s and 2 against Wales over 50s during July/ August 2020in England
