The Bulgarian Cricket Team is a fledgling team which represents the nation of Bulgaria 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.
The game is well supported by ex-pats from the United Kingdom, and is becoming more popular with the locals. There are teams in the capital, Sofia, and also in the city of Varna on the Black Sea.
The history of Bulgarian cricket is documented in the book 'Slogging The Slavs: A Paranormal Cricket Tour from the Baltic to the Bosphorus', by Angus Bell, released in December 2006 by Fat Controller Media.
