Like Baseball, But Different!

The ancient game of Cricket is Haverford's oldest and most distinctive sport. To many Americans, it's a mysterious game that looks kind of like baseball - to the rest of the world, it's one of the most popular sports. Led for over 25 years by Coach Kamran Khan, Haverford's XI team bears the distinction of being the only varsity cricket team in the U.S., but that doesn't mean they sit around with no one to play. They play club teams from all over the country, and are frequent participants in cricket tournaments and festivals.
