<p>Does anyone know if playing cricket in any college in the U.S. is possible? They don't play it there, I guess.........</p>
<p>^They do play it there. There are many colleges where you can play cricket. Ex -Harvard, Yale and Brown. Several others will turn up if you look for them.</p>
<p>apart from the ivies ^</p>
<p>alot of other universities have cricket at a club level,</p>
<p>and all of them would probably have it at an intramural level…</p>
<p>how ‘professionally’ were you hoping to play?</p>
<p>They do…
Yes, rsaxena. Now you can play cricket for your college team!</p>

<p>As high as possible. I was an under-16 state player, and initially wanted to drop studies to get into the Indian team. Didn’t do it then, but I imagined I’d play a lot in college if I decide to study here. If I do go to the US though, I was wondering what I would do.</p>
<p>Thanks for those links compscifan and ivycollege. There’s some hope I guess. I need a sport for the Rhodes. :p</p>
<p>
What is it?</p>
<p>
Ne backup Indian college?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>AIEEE and EAMCET (Andhra Pradesh’s local entrance exam). I don’t really think I’ll be going to the US though, so I’ve started studying for our entrance exams.</p>
<p>

<p>The Rhodes scholarship is for students who want to study at Oxford for their Masters - it covers all expenses for any course the student might wish to study. Getting selected is very very tough though, and apart from academic excellence etc, you need to be an athlete (a proven one) too.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure most colleges, including mine, have a cricket club. And not just the ones ivycollege listed. Its just that those listed probably play in tournaments.</p>
<p>^Neat then. I imagined no one would be playing it in America, since it’s overshadowed by baseball (why?) and other sports. </p>
<p>As long as something is there, then it’s fine.</p>
<p>Santa Clara University is close to [Santa</a> Clara Cricket Club](<a href=“http://www.santaclaracc.org/home]Santa”>http://www.santaclaracc.org/home)</p>
<p>Silicon valley has perfect weather for cricket.</p>
<p>I agree with bluebox.</p>
<p>Unfortunately Bluebox ,most colleges do NOT have a cricket club. Much of the cricket played on college campuses has been intramural, and actually tapeball. Additionally non-students(former stduents & friends) often dominate the few instances where there are “clubs”
There is the development of more structure now through American College Cricket, as IVYCollege points out.
The schools named on that site would offer a potential student more organized cricket.</p>
<p>
Same here …</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Why? You don’t need aid. You’re obviously going to get in somewhere.</p>
<p>somewhere … I really do not want to keep safeties there… What’s the point of shelling out 30-40K in a ‘so-so’ school. I would rather join BITS or a NIT here …</p>
<p>Fair point, but what I meant was you’ll get in somewhere good. You already have RHIT, I believe. That’s enough reason to stop studying, if you ask me.</p>
