Yes! They play cricket in Poland!
The Club of our one hundred
and forty-second friends is called:
Polonia Cricket Club
Their club is made up of both female and male players
from the age of 18 up to around 40. All - except one Englishman - are Polish.
As they can all speak English at some level, they
speak mostly English during their practice sessions and matches.
So if you decide to join them either for training
or a match you will also be able to practice your English!
