In Houston, land of pickup trucks and cowboy boots, a group of expats from India have built a cricket club of dynastic proportions.
The Houston Indian Cricket Club has won eight Houston Cricket League championships and recorded four runner-up finishes in the past 15 seasons. The club is so good that a number of first-class cricketers, such as Ranji Trophy player Milind Kumar, have competed here as a way to compile statistics and stay active during the rainy season back home.
Former West Indies international player Ricardo Powell competed and coached for HICC in recent years.
