Cricket in Sweden: how can an immigrant-powered sport attract new players?

In this week’s episode we look at the past, present and future of cricket in Sweden.

With interest soaring in Sweden in recent years, The Local’s James Savage attended an event recently introducing Swedish parliamentarians to the sport.

To get a feel for the state of the game in Sweden, James spoke to the event’s organizer, Nagendra Siddoutam from Anchor Sports, and Mattias Karlsson, a Moderate Party politician.

Host Paul O’Mahony is also joined by The Local’s Nordic editor Richard Orange, who previously wrote a series of articles detailing a scandal that led to the national federation being stripped of its funding.

Earlier this year the Swedish Sports Federation ended the cricket organisation’s suspension and enthusiasts are now once again focused on bringing the sport to as many people as possible in Sweden.
