History
Cricket has been played in Uzbekistan since 1997. It is when Indian employees of Core Pharmsanoat (an Indo-Uzbek healthcare company) began organising regular intra organisation cricket games. In 1999, a cricket event took place when British Embassy Team played against a crew of players from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Malaysia. Presently there are more than 280 players coming from various districts of the country, learning the techniques of the game.
