About the federation

The story of cricket in Cambodia, the people leading it, and where it's headed next.

Our history

How cricket in Cambodia grew from informal games into a national federation.

Early days

Grassroots beginnings

Cricket is introduced and kept alive in Cambodia by a small mix of local enthusiasts and members of the expatriate community playing informally on borrowed grounds.

Building the base

Clubs and coaching take shape

Regular club sessions, junior coaching and volunteer-run competitions start to give the game a consistent home in Phnom Penh and beyond.

Going national

The federation is formed

A national governing body is established to organise the sport, select national squads and represent Cambodia in regional cricket.

Going international

First tours and qualifiers

The national team begins touring the region and taking part in ICC qualifying events, including recent series against Indonesia, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

Today

A federation still growing

This page will be updated with the federation's full official history, key dates and milestones.

What makes us unique

A federation shaped by Cambodia's own mix of players, cultures and grounds.

01

A blended playing base

Local Cambodian talent plays and trains alongside a strong expatriate cricket community, widening the player pool.

02

Youth-first pathway

School and junior programmes are treated as the foundation the national teams are eventually built from.

03

Year-round conditions

Cambodia's tropical climate keeps the game playable and training grounds active for most of the year.

04

A volunteer-driven game

Coaches, administrators and officials largely give their time voluntarily to keep the sport running.

Our vision

To take Cambodian cricket from schools, colleges and local clubs onto the international stage — and to give every player who picks up a bat here, local or expat, a genuine path to the national team.

01

Grow participation

Widen access to the game at school and community level nationwide.

02

Raise standards

Bring in qualified coaching and structured pathways for serious players.

03

Compete internationally

Build squads capable of competing consistently at regional and ICC events.

04

Build for the long term

Put sustainable structures in place so the game keeps growing after this generation.
