History of Cricket in Fiji.

Before we go into details about this sport in Fiji, it is better that we take a walk down memory lane and try and look at the people who introduced this sport to the Fijian people and we will also try and look at the first people who played this sport, where it was played and the year that it was first played.

Although not a big fan of this sport, however i am really fascinated at how the game is played, the skills and the concentration that is needed in order to become a successful player in this sport. Not only that...it is a sport that not many but a few proudly play and follow..as far this sport is corncerned in Fiji..it is classed as a minor sport behind some of the major sports like rugby..soccer..netball..and the list goes on.....and i strongly believe that this should not be the case as it is a sport like any other sport and it should also receive the support that is given to the other sports...in other words equality is important...

But anyways, moving on, cricket in Fiji proudly traces its history back to 1874 when the European settlers arrived on our shores and with that they brought and introduced many new things to the people of Fiji, of which one of them was the sport of cricket.
