CRICKET SWITZERLAND
Cricket is for everyone
The national home of cricket in Switzerland — 45 teams, 26 cantons, one growing game.
01 — About Us
Cricket arrived in Switzerland with the people who love it, and stayed because the country gave it room to grow. From industrial estates in Zurich to school fields in Geneva, the game is played wherever a flat surface and twenty-two yards can be.
The first cricket association met on 9 March 1980, at the Australian Embassy in Berne.

03 — THE SETTING
A pitch below the
Alps.
Grounds are scarce, so clubs make do with rugby pitches, school fields, and the odd stretch of parkland — often with the mountains as a backdrop the rest of the cricket world doesn't get./p>
04 — THE community
Built by newcomers,
played by everyone.
South Asian, Afghan, English, and Australian communities carried the game here first. Today, junior sections and school programmes are widening who picks up a bat.

We don't have the grounds England has, or the heat India has. What we have is precision — and that turns out to matter more than either.
