Hi guys,

I'm from Pakistan and naturally i'm a cricket crazy fan. I would just like to know if there is any cricket action going on around Doha? Any clubs, any league, any fun cricket? Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I have noticed that almost every weekend there is a lot of street cricket played in the large parking area east of the Al Sadd Stadium.

Good Luck

yeah, i'm really into cricket too...

my prob is my mom's pakistani and my dad's indian... so cricket is a must for me!

do people play in neighborhoods and stuff though? i mean i'm not sure about going to a club and playing professional cricket, i prefer private 'street' games, they're much more fun imo!
