About Malta Cricket Association
Malta
Cricket Association is comprised of several teams al playing in
Malta. We have our main ground in the historic Marsa Sports
club Complex. A new playing surface is also being used at Safi.
Cricket is competitive and social, with many expatriates playing as well as Maltese locals.
To enquire about our touring team facilities, or if you just want to come along and play - contact us or see the contact page.
We have four Cricket teams but as Malta is such a small place only the one ground!
The Pitch is inside the Marsa Sports Club Complex and is shared between the Main Club and the other teams in terms.
Cricket has been played on the existing site for over a century.
A cricket match is played every Saturday at the club, with touring sides offered both weekend and midweek matches.
Match Type One-Day Limited-Over matches are the norm with lunch taken in between innings and 5-minute drinks breaks taken during each innings. Depending on day-light available and requests by the visitors, matches vary between 35-50 overs per innings.
