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.
In March 2021, Uzbekistan announced the launch of a T20 league that would be played in August.[2]
