Czech Republic national cricket team

[6] In June 2008, an unofficial national team from the Czech Republic came second in an ICC supported Euro Twenty 20 tournament which took place at the Carmel & District Cricket Club in Wales.

In August 2008, the Czech Republic hosted the Prague International Twenty 20 cricket cup[8] at their former Vypich ground.

In September 2009, the Czech Republic participated for the first time in the ICC European Division 5 Championship[9] in Corfu, finishing a respectable third (defeating Bulgaria, Turkey and Estonia) behind Sweden and the tournament winners, Greece.

They lost narrowly to Bulgaria but three wickets apiece from Brigham Smith and Scott Page restricted Estonia to 100 all out, which the Czech team chased down thanks to an unbeaten 33 from wicket-keeper Mik Starý.

2014 saw an increase in fixtures, with trips to Vienna and Dresden as well as hosting the Central Europe Cup,[11] with T20 matches against Poland, Switzerland and Luxembourg.

[13] Young bowler Oliver Matoušek picked up five wickets in his representative debut for the Lions, and Suditha Udugalage and Rahul Subash batted well to see the team home.

Opening batsmen Sudhir Gladson and Hilal Ahmad received man of the match awards for their performances against Poland[14] and Switzerland,[15] respectively.
