History

The game of Cricket is introduced into Bulgaria in the early 20th Century by English Diplomats and was played in the American college in the centre of Southwest Bulgaria – Blagoevgrad . The new history of Bulgarian cricket began in 2002 with the official foundation of the Bulgarian Cricket Federation with the efforts of a few enthusiastic sportsmen, captivated by the game. At the same meeting members appointed prof. Nikolay Kolev as a President of the federation. Based at Bulgaria’s National Sports Agency in the capital city of Sofia, the BCF has ten member clubs with juniors, seniors and universities male and female teams, which compete in an annual league and other national and regional tournaments.[2]
