Slovakia national cricket team

The Slovakia national cricket team is a fledgling team which represents the nation of Slovakia in International Cricket competitions. They are not officially endorsed by the International Cricket Council and are therefore not entitled to participate in ICC Official events. However, they do have an application to the European Cricket Council pending, which should see them granted Affiliate Status in the near future.[1] There is currently only one active cricket club in Slovakia, the Slovak Cricket Club, which is located in the village of Hájske, some 70 km east of the capital Bratislava.
