Team sports have enormous individual and community benefits and cricket is inclusive with respect to age, build, and gender. Therefore, the Mongolian Cricket Association (MCA) is introducing cricket to Mongolia, helping the sport to take root in country with the focus to make sure that children from diverse backgrounds including orphanage, state schools and international schools are all included.

Special thanks to MCA for successfully building OT Ger’villion and further contributing to the development of Mongolian children by introducing cricket.
