Peru Cricket Association
Encyclopedia
The Peruvian Cricket Federation is the official governing body
of the sport of cricket
in Peru
. The Peruvian Cricket Federation is Peru's representative at the International Cricket Council
and is an affiliate member and has been a member of that body since 2007. It is also a member of the Americas Cricket Association
.
Cricket has been played in Peru for 150 years, at the splendid Lima Cricket & Football Club, and is now undergoing resurgence as a recently-admitted Affiliate Member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) and a founder member of Cricket South America, along with Argentina, Brazil and Chile.
Peru has traditionally held an 8-10 week season at the Lima Cricket and Football Club (LCFC) from February until Easter. The Annual Easter tournament has often involved invited teams (often Chile or Guyanan masters).
The advantage of playing cricket in Peru is that play is never lost to rain!
The most important regular matches on the calendar were traditionally the British Ambassador’s XI vs President of the LCFC XI and India/Pakistan vs Rest of the World.
In November 2006, a uniquely Peruvian cricket form, Cricket Veloz, was introduced to the cricketing calendar, and the Chimu Adventures Cricket Veloz Trophy has been hotly contested every year since. Originally designed as a four-team, indoor tournament, in 2009 it was rebranded as an outdoor 6-a-side festival, with great success, fitting nicely into the 150th Anniversary celebrations of the LCFC.
The four local teams are:
1)The Kiteflyers: a multinational local football team founded in 1981.
In 2007, the Kiteflyers, captained by Chris Abbott, won the inaugural Twenty20 Championship.
Later the same year, they won the Cricket Veloz Tournament
2)Eidgenossen: a team made up mainly of teachers from local British schools
Eidgenossenschaft is a German word meaning confederation. The term literally translates as “oath fellowship”. An Eidgenossenschaft is a confederacy of equal partners, which can be individuals or groups such as states, formed by a pact sealed by a solemn oath. Such an alliance could be either time-limited or unlimited (or “eternal”). An important characteristic is that the partners were always considered equal, in contrast to the oath of fealty in feudal societies with their strict hierarchies. As a political term, it is used most often as a synonym for Switzerland, whose official German name is “Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft”, usually translated as Swiss Confederation. An Eidgenosse is a member of an Eidgenossenschaft, and is an expression for “Swiss citizen”.
