Answer 11

The Chinese have been late in starting, BUT cricket is now rapidly growing. Consider the following:

China national cricket team

People's Republic of China

International Cricket Club (ICC) membership granted 2004

ICC member status Affiliate member

ICC development region Asia

First recorded match Yet to play representative cricket

As of 31 July 2007

The Chinese cricket team is the team that represents the country of the People's Republic of China in international cricket. The Chinese Cricket Association became an International Cricket Council affiliate member in 2004. It should be noted that the Special administrative region of Hong Kong is a member of the ICC in their own right, becoming an ICC associate member in 1969. Hence, players from Hong Kong are not eligible to represent China in international competition.

Prior to the establishment of a recognised national side, the Shanghai Cricket Club, the largest club in the country, played games against many touring sides but they do not receive official recognition from the Chinese Cricket Association.

Since September 2005, the Chinese Cricket Association has conducted 8 coaching/ umpiring training course under the assistance from the Asian Cricket Council ("ACC"). The sports was now promoted in 9 cities in China namely Beijing, Shanghai, Shenyang, Dalian, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Tianjin and Jinan. More than 150 schools were involved.

Currently, China is preparing for their next international challenges at the 2009 ACC Trophy Challengers Division and the 2010 Asian Games where, as the host, they will play against India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and 3 other Asian teams. Selection of players was conducted in Beijing, Shenyang, Shanghai and Tianjin.

The Chinese Cricket Association has set itself other goals over the next 14 years, described by some as optimistic.  A list of these goals follows:

2009: Have 720 teams across the country in a well-organised structure

2015: Have 20,000 players and 2,000 coaches

2019: Qualify for the World Cup

2020: Gain Test status

Answer 12

I have a Chinese background. I play cricket.

But many Chinese do not like to watch it, let alone play it, predominately because they don't understand the game and the rules. Another reason I often hear is the speed and length of a regular cricket game.

My Auntie, also Chinese, WAS a part of the common Chinese crowd until recent years where she became addicted to the game. She has practically fallen in love with Pup. LOL. Her love for the sport practically came from understanding the strategy, rules and gameplay in Cricket.
