Stockholm International Cricket Club
Ghazanfar Abbas, Murtaza Jaffrey, Zabir Khan, Irtiza Khan, Anwar Jamil, Naveed Hashmi, Ishat Ahmed and Qamar Chowdhry are the people who laid the foundation of this great cricket club in 1980. At that time there was only one more cricket club in Sweden. There were many people from the subcontinent living here in Stockholm who really needed a platform to enjoy and exploit their cricket skills and the making of Pakistan Cricket Club was just the need of the time. As you would understand that Sweden had no cricket history, it became very difficult to convince local government authorities that these foreigners needed a huge ground where they could play their cricket. But people mentioned above were determined and focused. They knew precisely what they wanted and they never thought of giving it up. They really did their home work and at last they succeeded to get the permission and desired area to play cricket on.
That was just the beginning of something special. Pakistan Cricket club became the platform where these Asians could mingle with each other and really feel the smell of their respective homeland. The culture and language was almost the same so there was no difficulties communicating or getting together. Pakistan Cricket Club became the role model for the people living in other cities like Gothenburg and Malmo And just in couple of years there were enough cricket clubs in Sweden so the need to travel abroad in order to play cricket became less than before. But it was not before 1991 clubs were able to set up Swedish Cricket Federation, which held the first ever Swedish National championship consisting clubs from almost every big city of Sweden.
Pakistan Cricket Club have the honour to become the first ever winners of the Swedish National Championship in 1991. Pakistan Cricket Club has also the honour to become Swedish Champions seven times since 1991. This is the gain no other club in Sweden can match with.
Swedish Cup is another tournament which Pakistan Cricket Club has been conducting on annual basis since 1980.
Lots of local teams and teams from countries like England, Norway, Denmark and Finland have participated in Swedish Cup over the years. This is just a reflection on what this great club and people belonging to it have been doing for cricket for more than two decades know. This is the club which has won most cricket tournaments in Sweden. The Swedish National Championship, The Swedish Cup, The Nordic cup and The Qauid-e-Azam Trophy are the cricketing events which Pakistan Cricket Club has won many a times.
People like Hayat Dogar, Chowdhry Fakhar, Yasin Saleemi, Mujtaba Hussain, Zulfiqar kiani, Manjurul Naushad, Faisal Azeem, Younis Fayyaz, Nisar Ahmed Awan , Zeeshan Rahmat and Ashfaq Ahmed are doing their best to take the good work of their elder brothers forward.
