GREECE
HELLENIC CRICKET FEDERATION
HISTORY | ROSTER | FTP/EVENTS | DOMESTIC | GROUNDS | STATS
The Hellenic Cricket Federation (Greek: Ελληνική Ομοσπονδία Κρίκετ) is the governing body of cricket in Greece. The current president is Jackie Kornwells. Greece was accepted into the World Cricket Conference (WCC) in 1999 and was formally invited to join the European Confederation of Nations (EUROCON) as the full-member. The federation's headquarters are on the island of Corfu where Greek cricket is mainly played.
History
Cricket has been played in Corfu since 1823 but remains a minor sport in Greece, with almost no media coverage around the country. Cricket was brought to Greece by the British who occupied the Ionian Islands for 50 years, leaving in 1864. Most of the players and coaches are Corfu Greeks, but there are also some Pakistanis and Afghanis playing, one max per club eleven in competitions. There are also some Australian Greeks from Melbourne who play.
