Uzbekistan national cricket team

Before being officially inaugurated in November 2019 as Cricket Federation of Uzbekistan, cricket has been played in the country since 1997. The first ever registered matches were organized by The British Embassy in Uzbekistan among the embassies of cricket-playing nations. Later, Indian and other residents of cricketing countries began organising regular intra-organisational 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 2000 players from various country districts, learning the game's techniques.
