Solomon Islands national cricket team : ウィキペディア英語版 | Solomon Islands national cricket team
The Solomon Islands national cricket team is the team that represents the country of the Solomon Islands in international cricket matches. Cricket is a minor sport in the country, and the national team hasn't played since 1999. The game now appears to be in decline.〔Encyclopedia of World Cricket by Roy Morgan, Sportsbooks Publishing, 2007〕 ==History==
Cricket was introduced to the Solomon Islands by missionaries in the 1870s. Initially the game was played enthusiastically throughout the islands,〔 but by the 1960s, interest outside the capital Honiara waned.〔(News from cricket around the world, ICC associates affiliates and others ) by Tony Munro, 13 June 1999 at Cricinfo〕 The national side first played in 1977, when they played Fiji in the capital city. The match was drawn.〔 By the 1980s, the game outside the capital city was non-existent,〔 though an attempt at a revival was made in the early 1990s. This revival led to the national side being sent to the cricket tournament at the 1991 South Pacific Games in Papua New Guinea.〔 Interest again declined after this though〔 and equipment was in short supply. A match by the national team was played against an Australian club side in 1999, and they won by six wickets.〔 They have not played since.〔 A cricket association was formed in 2000 with the aim of setting up a national league and seeking membership of the International Cricket Council.〔(Solomon Islands: National association formed ), 29 May 2000 at Cricinfo〕 However the civil war caused many of the expatriate community to leave the country, and the game again went into decline.〔
