The Russian Cricket Team is a fledgling team which represents the nation of Russia in International Cricket competitions. They are not officially endorsed by the International Cricket Council and are therefore not entitled to participate in ICC Official events, however they do have an application to the European Cricket Council pending, which should see them granted Affiliate Status in the near future.
There is a fledgling four team club competition in Moscow, with one of the teams being the famous football club Dynamo Football Club.
An International tournament was held in St. Petersburg in 2006, although teams had to use a tennis ball as no cricket balls were available.
