From CBC Newfoundland
Cricket, a sport similar to baseball, was once popular in Newfoundland and Labrador but went nearly extinct several years ago.
Now it’s getting revived thanks to a new generation of players.
Amit Sundly, secretary of Cricket Newfoundland and Labrador, came to St. John’s from India. To his surprise, he was swinging a flat bat two days after his arrival.
“I had no clue that I would get cricket here,” he said.
“But it was the second day when I saw a bunch of guys walking down the street with cricket bats. And I can’t even tell you what my feeling was at that time…just seeing the cricket bat was a big deal for me.”
