History

Omaha Cricket Club (OCC) is proud to be one of the oldest cricket clubs in the Midwest. The OCC was founded in 1991 by a group of cricket aficionados, including Paresh Chotu Bhai, Sethupathi Thangamuthu, Srinivas Chilukuri, Floyd Campbell and Vish Viswanathan. The club consisted of 2 teams Omaha Cricket Club and Nebraska Cricket Club. In 2001, the club decided to name the team playing local leagues as Omaha Cricket Club and combined team of OCC and LCC (Lincoln Cricket Club) as Nebraska Cricket Club representing us outside the state lines for tournaments and leagues. The City of Omaha and the Omaha Parks & Recreation Department was generous enough to provide a state-of-the-art ground that features near perfect playing area dimensions. OCC members take pride in playing in North Omaha's historic N P Dodge Park, which has gained a reputation as one of the best grounds in the Midwest and arguably, one of the finest in the nation. Our club partnership with the City of Omaha has received publicity in print publications, as well as on the television and radio, within Nebraska and Iowa.

Our cricket ground is set in the heart of the city's best maintained and most picturesque park - N P Dodge Park. It features a matting wicket with regulation size boundaries, as well as two Astroturf practice nets. The ground is adjacent to the park's picnic facilities and includes shaded bleacher seating to watch the game. We also have a spacious on-site storage shed to house all of our cricketing essentials. N P Dodge Park is located eight miles north of downtown Omaha and is easily accessible by Interstates 29 and 680.
