Our History
Founded in 2022 in Greater London, Sankalp Cricket Club began as a small group of cricket enthusiasts with a shared vision - to build a club that champions inclusivity, personal development, and community connection through the love of the game.
In just a short time, we've grown into a thriving network of 500+ members, including players, families, and supporters. Our club brings together individuals from all backgrounds, with strong roots in the South Asian community, offering a welcoming space for both seasoned cricketers and newcomers alike.
We compete in various Cricket leagues including both outdoor and indoor tournaments throughout the year. At Sankalp, Cricket is more than a sport — it's a platform to bring people together and create lasting impact on and off the field. Emphasizing teamwork, confidence, and well-being, Sankalp blends competition with friendship, culture, and leadership.
We are a vibrant cricket club in London, dedicated to providing opportunities for players of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds to learn, compete, and grow. Our environment is designed to support, challenge, and welcome everyone, from coaching sessions to match-day experiences. Guided by our philosophy, Sankalp, we strive for unity, excellence, and resilience through cricket.
