History
The earliest cricketing history which can be substantiated relates to a paragraph contained in the publication The White Tide by David Sinclair (2000) wherein it is recorded that a cricket match was played in the late 1870s in a village named Shoshong between "Home-Born" and the "Colonials". The game was started on a more organised basis after independence in September 1966, mainly by expatriates from Britain, South Africa, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka who were working in the country. The Botswana Cricket Association was founded on 8 February 1983.[2]
