        CRICKETING DAYS GALORE!





        Play with the right spirit and keep in mind “A Champion Team will always beat a Team of Champions”. As rightly said, Play for
        the name on the front of the jersey not the name on the back!

        The year 2003 was it when it all began.
        Al-Rashed was one among first companies to invest in a cricket ground in Sulabiya.
        The harsh dusty climate and the chillness of Kuwait…nothing hampered the enthusiasm of these wonderful cricket lovers and the
        tournaments lead to be astoundingly successful. This humble beginning of the tournament made history and was once considered
        to be one of the most glamorous and well-organized tournaments within the Cricket community in Kuwait.

        Traditionally, batting in cricket occurs in innings, while bowling occurs in spells. Innings and spells have their own rhythms, their
        own specific phases. The disfiguring compression brought about by the 20-over contest renders spells and innings moot. Every
        ball counts.

        Even though Shipping Companies Cricket Tournament (SCCT) has not been happening for the last couple of years, Al-Rashed
        Cricket Team, as a whiff of single-mindedness,
        continues to embark new horizons by taking part in the Corporate League by being Champions once and also participates in the
        Kuwait Cricket League matches both in turf and cement surfaces.

        Cricket now is definitely a professional sport. Talent wins games but Teamwork and Intelligence win Championships.
        By not letting the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning, Al-Rashed International Shipping Co. motivates their
        Cricket Team to excel in this arena and ensures Team bonding is nurtured well within the staff members. The truly exceptional
        support being extended by the company over the years is definitely worth a mention.

        May today's success be the beginning of tomorrow's achievements. Let’s wish all the best for our jubilant Cricket Team as they
        mark their guards to the challenges this season.
