Our team vs. @icelandcricket.bsky.social today featured Venya (scorer of the highest ever innings by a Ukrainian!), as well as three players – Borys, and brothers Dmytro and Ilya – playing their first ever match. Three more have Ukrainian families, and four are big friends of Ukraine.

Here we are:

We're so happy to have been able to play against our friends @icelandcricket.bsky.social today 🇮🇸

They bowled us out for only 20, and we lost by 10 wickets, but again every one of us tried our best.

For three of us – Borys, and brothers Dmytro and Ilya – it was our first ever game of #cricket 🏏

A big shout-out to our charity partners for this week's Euro Cup – @fierce-calm.bsky.social, who provide therapies for Ukrainian soldiers, and Ukraine Charity, who provide humanitarian aid.

Their websites are below. To donate (maybe 10p per run we score?), go to the web addresses on the pages 🙏🏻🇺🇦🏏

A much better performance today vs. Lithuania, but still we lost by 43 runs.

Abdul Wahab from Kharkiv hit our first 50 of the tournament 💪🏼

We go again tomorrow against @icelandcricket.bsky.social, when four of our players will be Ukraine-born – three of them playing cricket for the first time 🇺🇦🏏

Our match against Poland ends in defeat by 140 runs.

Our players gave everything. We fielded superbly, and had moments with the bat.

We go again against Lithuania tomorrow morning 🇺🇦🏏

Our squad for this week's Euro Cup in Warsaw is almost ready!

Two or three Ukrainians – and three more Ukraine residents.

Several long-time friends of Ukraine. Some special guests and cricket badgers.

But if you are Ukrainian and in Poland, please get in touch – there is still a place for you! 🇺🇦🏏

Introducing our jersey for next month's Euro Cup in Warsaw!

Made by Ambition Sport, it has the logos of our charity partners @fierce-calm.bsky.social and Ukraine Charity, and our federation's pre-war crest.

Poland, @icelandcricket.bsky.social, Latvia and Lithuania – get ready!

What do you think?

It isn't only in Ukraine that you'll find Ukrainian cricketers – we have a feeling that Seychelles' Tim Horpinitch and Malta's Svitlana Iushchenko are two of ours as well!

Svitlana, Tim, you're always welcome to play for us!

One day we'll host the World Test Championship final at our ground in Kharkiv.

If we don't qualify, of course...

As India take control of the first #BGT Test match against Australia, we're pretty sure we know what the players have been reading to inspire them 🏏
