Heartland Cricket League

The Heartland Cricket League is a non-profit, nine-clubs with 10 teams cricket organization based in the states of Iowa and Nebraska. The league was formalized in 2004.

History

Cricket has been played in the United States of America since the early 1700s[1] [1]. Cricket has only been played in Heartland USA since the mid-1800 [2].[2][3]

Games were initially played on grassy pitches, which were often uncut with a jute mat laid on top. In 2004 the league switched to concrete-based, carpeted wickets. Neutral umpires were introduced in 2006.

The catalyst that spurred the creation of the Heartland cricket League in 2004 was for hope and expectation to have our players to try out for the US National Cricket team by participating in tournaments in mid-west USA, which were part of the USACA's [www.USACA.org] former Central Zone. Over the years since then the league has made major strides - hosting invitationals, festivals and tournaments and has played in tournaments in Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Colorado states.
