OurHistory
Over 55 years of cricket excellence in Wellingborough
A Legacy of Cricket
From humble beginnings playing park cricket at Castle Fields in the late 1960s, Wellingborough Indians Cricket Club made history as the first Indian team to compete in the Kettering & District Town League. That pioneering spirit has defined us ever since.
Today, with over 100 members and seven teams competing across the Northamptonshire Cricket League and Rutland League, we continue to build on those foundations—nurturing talent, fostering community, and bringing cricket to a global audience through our live YouTube broadcasts.
