Tiger Cricket Club (TCC) was formed in December
2018 with the objective of introducing cricket to LSU
community and participate in national and college
level cricket across the USA. The club currently
serves as the only cricket body to represent LSU
at the national level. All of the club members are
affiliated with LSU in the form of undergraduate or
graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and
alumni. At present, most of the club members come
from the South Asian countries like Bangladesh,
India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, and Afghanistan
where cricket is a popular sport. However, the club is
working hard toward involving more members from
other countries, especially the USA. The USA has
recently gained One-day International (ODI) status by
the International Cricket Council (ICC) that presented
a tremendous opportunity for the country to excel in
this sport in future. With this motivation, TCC expects
to involve in more cricket activities on and off campus
in future.
