The
Cleveland Cricket Club (CCC) is committed to fostering, improving
and promoting the game of cricket in the State of Ohio.
The Club was formed in March 1993. The opening ceremony at
the Cuyahoga County Airport field - that is home to the CCC
- was held in early May of the same year with dignitaries
from City of Richmond Heights including its Mayor - the Honorable
Daniel Ursu and various Council members, and management of
the Cuyahoga County Airport in attendance for the ribbon cutting
ceremony.
The ideally located field, fondly referred to as our Lord's,
was been made possible through tremendous cooperation between
CCC, the Cuyahoga County and its representatives and the City
of Richmond Heights.
The team and its members have been successful in their approach
of balancing various individual needs and at the same time
have the team remain extremely competitive as its history
in the Midwest Tournament indicates. The team has made several
playoff appearances through the years and won the coveted
trophy in 1998 under the captaincy of Rakesh Srivastava.
The Club remains open for membership to dedicated individuals
from any part of the world and we have had at various times,
players from all test playing nations (except Zimbabwe which
unfortunately has remained elusive to our Club) honor its
membership rolls.
The Club has experienced tremendous growth in its membership
for the last couple years and as a result we are currently
fielding two competitive teams.
