Alton Mark Outar is a cricket aficionado in a hockey-loving country.
But lately, Outar, who came to Canada from Jamaica in 2012, is witnessing something surprising: a never-before-seen boom in cricket’s popularity in Fredericton.
“We’ve seen the sport grow tenfold,” said Outar, one of the founders of the Fredericton Cricket Club.
The growing passion for the sport has not gone unnoticed, with the city of Fredericton conducting a cricket field feasibility study to better understand the sport’s requirements and how to improve facilities.
“If you’re familiar with cricket in New Brunswick, it’s kind of exploded,” said John Burns, a recreation officer with the city.
