From CBC:-
Prakhar Shrivastava grew up playing cricket on the warm and muggy streets of India, but on Monday, he’ll be playing cricket in the snow at Waskimo Winter Festival in Regina.
People will have their chance to try out the international sport for the second year in a row at the winter festival.
Shrivastava said when organizers first approached the club to play the game at last year’s event, he was a bit skeptical, to say the least.
“I thought they must be out of their mind,” he told Saskatchewan Weekend host Shauna Powers, with a chuckle.
However, he said he and the other members of Regina’s Cavaliers Sport and Social Club were up for the challenge, having never played on the snow before.
It was definitely not the club’s most serious game, with people bundled up, moving more slowly and taking a few more spills than usual. But the event was open to everyone, including the club’s families and other spectators, and many people walking by seemed to take an interest, said Shrivastava.
