We're in – @icelandcricket.bsky.social are the Board of Peace that the world actually needs.
We don't have a million krónur though – will you accept a case of Ukrainian wine and some varenyky?

Could we start a new rival global governance body for cricket and charge each national Board a million Icelandic krónur to join our gang? Well, there is a thought. An unhinged thought, but nevertheless, it must be expressed aloud in the interests of peaceful, non-political play.

We can only confirm who the Euro Cup's fifth nation *won't* be this year!
We have just booked our Warsaw accommodation for the Euro Cup 2026, which we are excited to take part in again. From 9-13th July, we will take on Lithuania, Latvia, and Poland, and likely one additional nation.
Last year, we won three of our four matches, but lost out on NRR.

We have found a kindred spirit in Hajar Abdelkader, an Egyptian girl who had barely played tennis before, but still entered a professional tournament.
The world needs more people as brave as Hajar. And more sporting stories like hers 💪🏻
