Four local squads are facing a team from Winnipeg in the Ontario Manitoba Championship this weekend.
THUNDER BAY – To get a sense of how much the sport of cricket has grown in Thunder Bay over the last 12 months, all one has to do is make a visit to Chapples Park or Current River Park this weekend.
“The sport’s growing very fast here in Thunder Bay,” said Abhiram Giri, who is a player for the Kombans and a board member with the Cricket Council. While the competitive teams get the spotlight with their showings at out-of-town events, such as when the Gujarat Lions won the Mayor’s Cup tournament in Timmins back in July, cricket as a whole continues to make strides locally.
“We can also head to Winnipeg and play and that’s really good for us as it helps to build our program outside of Thunder Bay. As people learn about us in other communities, that helps us grow.”
