Amateur cricket began in Serbia in 2007 when two clubs, Stari Grad and Mirijevo, were founded in Belgrade.
Haris Dajč, Vladimir Ninković, Darko Ivić and Nenad Dugić started organizing cricket training with the help of ex-Maharashtra player Mr. Amberish Sarang in October 2007.
As a result of that, and their success of finding a number of sponsorship deals, Serbian cricket is completely self-supportive financially.
One very good thing about cricket in Serbia is its focus on local development and getting the game to the mainstream, which is very unusual in Europe.
Another byproduct of this is that the domestic and national team matches are covered by the major Serbian newspapers.
