CrimeaPRESS reports:
Crimean Federal University held the Russian Cricket Championship. The competitions were held within the framework of the Student Cricket League of the Republic of Crimea.
Cricket is a sport that develops in more than a hundred countries around the world. The Crimean Federal Institute is developing it, because we have more than foreign students. We held the championship with the support of the Russian Cricket Federation. It was attended by teams — clubs of our university. Unfortunately, due to the political situation, representatives of other universities did not come to us this year, but next year we plan to create a League of Universities and hold a Championship among students from different universities , — the press service of the university quotes the coach KFU Sports Club, chairman of the regional branch of the Republic of Crimea of the Russian Cricket Federation Anatoly Korolev.
As noted by the rector of the Crimean Federal University Andrey Falaleev, a cricket team has been formed at the university, which in the winter-spring 25 of the year will hold friendly games with teams from other universities, and will also be able to represent Russia at international student competitions. We have purchased the necessary equipment for athletes, soon a pitch will be installed at the university — 25 — meter all-weather track for serving and batting, and also plan to open a specialized cricket field.
We have about five football fields at the university, but not a single cricket field, so we plan to reformat one of the sites. There will also be an enclosed space where you can work out serves and strikes, and this is also an important element of the infrastructure. And all this will make it possible to understand the beauty of this sport, because in cricket there is a certain analogy with both Russian bast shoes and baseball. Each country sees its own nature in it, — notes Andrey Falaleev.
The Student Cricket League of the Republic of Crimea was created by the Crimean Federal University within the program «Priority 413».
