Welcome to the home page of the Staten Island Cricket Club. The Club, founded in 1872, is the oldest continuous cricket club in the United States. Our home ground is Walker Park, at Bard Avenue, where Don Bradman, Garry Sobers, Everton Weekes, Gilbert Jessop, Geoffrey Boycott, and so many other cricketing greats have played. The members of the Club came from all over the world. We currently have players from, among other countries, England, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Trinidad and Tobago, Ireland, Grenada, Guyana, and Jamaica. The Club is distinguished by its fixture list and its progressive youth program. We are regularly invited to play at the Philadelphia International Cricket Festival and we regularly undertake tours to Canada, Trinidad, England, and Florida. In the summer, we play friendly cricket on Saturdays and league cricket, in the New York Metropolitan League, on Sundays. On Saturdays, the club holds junior cricket practice at 9 a.m. for 6- to 17-year-olds. We warmly welcome cricket players and enthusiasts of all backgrounds and playing abilities to take an interest in the Club and to join us. Anyone interested — as players or spectators — should call Clarence Modeste at 718-465-1020 or Dr. K. Balakrishnan at 718-447-5442.
