Hectic action in a South Africa vs England World Masters Indoor Cricket game--New Zealand, 2003
South Africa vs England, New Zealand 2003

How big is an indoor cricket court? What are the rules to indoor cricket? Who won the inaugural Under-19 World Indoor Cricket Championships? Which website exclusively covered the 2002 Indoor Cricket WORLD CUP? All this, plus the biggest collection of indoor cricket photographs, here on Indoor Cricket World. Yes folks, we're back!!

But . . . because our previous host has blocked access to our site on their servers, we've had to retrieve bits and pieces from here and there. So, you will notice some broken links for a while, and some missing photographs. We apologise, and we're working daily on fixing it.

In the meantime, here's the site pretty well as it used to be before we were blocked from our previous domain. REMEMBER, we're DOT. NET now, not Dot Com :)

AND . . . please cut us some slack for outdated content, broken links, missing photos etc . . . we will make it up to you . . . soon . . . promise :)

From humble beginnings in the late 1970's, indoor cricket has grown into a major sport in its own right. In Perth, Western Australia (where the game originated), the 1996 Sports Census showed indoor cricket to be the fifth most popular of all sports, in terms of total number of registered players, with 35% more registered players than men's cricket (outdoor). This participation rate is testament to how suitable indoor cricket is to players of both sexes, and all ages.

Indoor cricket is now played between National teams from Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia and, more recently, India. Sri Lanka have also joined the international Indoor Cricket scene - the 2004 Indoor Cricket World Cup was held in Colombo, Sri Lanka, while we personally experienced New Zealand's magnificent hosting of the 2002 World Cup

There is also an International Masters (Over-35's) Championship, which was inaugurated in Perth in 2001. In 2003 this magnificent event was held in New Zealand, and included the inaugural World 19 and Under Boys and Girls Championships, and the inaugural International Womens Over-30 Championships.The Sri Lankan Men joined this competition for the first time in New Zealand. And the 2002 World Masters Games in Melbourne, Australia, included mens', womens' and mixed Indoor Cricket competitions.

And for those with an interest in both outdoor and indoor cricket, don't miss our list of players who have represented their country in both forms of the game.

Like Indoor Cricket itself, this site is not just about the elite players and their competitions. Those unfamiliar with the game will find all you need to know in the coming pages. From descriptions and explanations of the game, through the setting up of playing courts and playing equipment used, to basic game strategies, complete rules and tips for players and umpires. We also have interviews with established Indoor Cricket personalities, opinion forums (Soapbox and Guestbook), and a soon-to-be-announced range of Indoor Cricket merchandise. And in a world first, we are now selling VideoCD's of Western Australian Indoor Cricket Super-League games). We are also proud to feature the most extensive library of photographs of Indoor Cricket action to be found anywhere--and yes, we do sell our photographs, email us for details.

There are also links to local centres, National and State bodies, and individual teams from around the world.
And even the more experienced amongst us will find no harm in refreshing our familiarity with the rules.

In addition to the information delivered, the aim of these pages is to also give you what the game gives so many around the world - a whole lotta fun.

We maintain this website in our own time, and especially the photography side of things is a tad expensive. So have a look around, enjoy the site, and if you think the site is worthwhile and you would really really really like to help it carry on, you might want to make a small (large is okay too) credit-card donation here:
