Cricket

 

 

Cricket is a game that can appear very confusing to the beginner with an array of rules, bizarre terminology and games that can last five days and still end in a draw. While it can appear baffling – with a nightwatchman being out for a duck after being caught at silly mid-off (just one typically confusing scenario), once you start to learn the basics, the game becomes both enjoyable and at times completely gripping.
 
Here in RI cricket, we take the game very seriously. Three times a week we meet for gruelling but satisfying sessions that hone each of our cricketer’s skills in bowling, batting, and fielding. We take the time to also play matches with other cricket teams in international schools, sports academies, and division leagues. Our overseas trips so far to Sri Lanka and Malaysia have been exciting and wonderful opportunities for travelling with friends and schoolmates. Through this wide range of activities, we hope to instil in our cricketer’s pride in their sport and a greater understanding of the skills they need to develop to become exceptional sportsmen.
Echoing the words of Virat Kohli who said, “No cricket team in the world depends on one or two players. The team always plays to win,” we welcome you to join our team and contribute in any way possible!
