Our players are working on fitness and conditioning ahead of the 2026 outdoor season.
We always say this when we do not know what they are up to.
We are eternal optimists and never worry about the possibility that summer may never come. Our domestic outdoor season begins in 53 days.
We have updated our all-time World Cup winners list across all world cups and both genders. India move clear of the WI and now hold third place alone.
In Iceland, everything here today is about the contrasts. Will the T20 WC final turn out to be so black and white in its outcome?
The truth is that cricket has always been the world's most important team sport. When the first international football match was played between England and Scotland in 1872, they had to put it on at a cricket ground.
The groundstaff had said the pitch would be like a road, but it turned out that it had a good deal of fire.
Our players can deal with the Icelandic darkness, volcanic eruptions, wind storms, andnall the ice, hail and snow. But any bowling above 125 km/h gives them the shivers. That's life! Cricket reveals character in interesting ways.
The T20 World Cup is down to just two nations.
A lot of teams wasted expenses, time, and physical and emotional energy taking part. Some thought twice about it.
We sat here and spouted comments like no tomorrow.
Our players are rested and rejuvenated for season 2026.
Summer is one day closer today. 57 days until our season begins.
The SA bowling was absolutely torn apart. We've not seen anything like this since we went on a game safari in the Kruger National Park and something went terribly wrong.
If a batter is repeatedly time wasting, the umpires should be able to intervene and offer a 'free bowl' for the bowler at the unprotected stumps. A bit like a free hit but bowler friendly. Finally.
We want to everyone on our planet to have peaceful, prosperous lives in flourishing communities where cricket can play a central role. If that is asking for too much, then let's hope you at least have the cricket part.
We always say that we applaud good play when we see it. We'll let you know.
Pakistan both win and lose simultaneously. England and NZ go through to the semis from the Super 8s.
Sensational, though, at the end by Dasun Shanaka! Shaheen Afridi was hit into the middle of next week.
We always tell our players, you are going to fail, so why worry about it?
This is the kind of deconstructive motivation they need to get out of bed and not worry if the day goes well or badly. We would not have won three T20Is in the 2025 Euro Cup without this kind of approach.
We are excited to announce our new partnership with CricHeroes for our upcoming 2026 season.
All matches will be scored and streamed on their platform, as well as the latter on our YT channel.

It is possible England will rig their last Super 8 match against NZ, but the good thing with them is we will never be able to tell.

Earlier this month we talked about the ICC funding model and what we feel needs to change.

Cricket in Iceland is all about the contrasts.
My book is set this week four years ago, in the first days of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Its heroes are some very brave – and very eccentric – sportspeople, who I still want the world to know about.
Lots of fun cricket stories as well. Please share ⬇️

There was only one reason why Sachin Tendulkar came to visit Iceland in 2009 and that was to experience the true birthplace of cricket. The fact he spent nearly his whole time on the Mosfellsbær golf course is neither here nor there.
If you add ice to one side of a cricket ball, which is an entirely natural substance, you will see swing bowling the likes of which you have never witnessed before.
We choose today to announce our T20WC team of the group stage:
S Farhan (PAK)
B Bennett (ZMB)
A Markram (SA) (C)
I Kishan (IND)
K Mendis (SL)
S Hope (WI) (wk)
J Holder (WI)
C Kalugamage (IT)
V Chakravarthy (IND)
S van Schalkwyk (USA)
B Muzarabani (ZIM)
The hoodoo is over! England can beat other European teams in the T20 World Cup.
Had they lost today, we would have started to wonder if literally any European nation could triumph against them.
The pasta boys will be hungry, not scared ahead of the English battle on Monday.
After a crushing win for our Irish cousins, this is one of the big derby matches. Scotland versus England, the Tartan Army vs. the Bakewell Tarts. Let's hope it is a battle for the ages. Can England gain their first ever win over European opposition in the T20WC?
Our 2026 jerseys are now available for sale throughout the year.

Australia have never beaten Zimbabwe and England are yet to beat a fellow European nation in a T20 World Cup. One of those surprising facts could go within 24 hours.
Another team fails to chase in the T20 World Cup, and this time it is England's turn to run out of road.
Afghanistan versus New Zealand is a battle between two dark horses, the new and the old. Icelandic dark horses are small and cute, and also not yet trophy winners. Resilient, though.
