IDCL – 2012 is here!! Mark your Calendars!!

The Twenty20 Event in the Netherlands that has set the standard for Fun, Fairplay, Colour & Food is back again! The IDCL is proud to announce that the 2012 Edition (the 3rd) of the IDCL Twenty20 Challenge will be held on April 29-30, 2012, at the picturesque Voorburg Cricket Club (VCC) Grounds in Den Haag.

The Mumbai Tigers triumphed over all opposition in 2011 to lift the trophy for a second consecutive time! Are they really as invincible as they think they are? Come, watch & participate in the 2012 Event to find out! As usual, we will have plenty of fun, food and high-quality cricket from some of the best Indian cricketers in the Netherlands.

Welcome to the updated and improved website of the Indo-Dutch Cricket League (IDCL). This website allows you – the Indian Expatriate in the Netherlands – to join in the fun and excitement of the IDCL and participate in the Annual T20 Tournament in the Summer!  Through the IDCL, we aim to provide you the opportunity to connect to hundreds of other friends, families & professional colleagues who constitute the Indian Expatriate Community in the Netherlands

We love cricket and we love having a good time!

So, a group of us floated the idea of a regular Twenty20 tournament featuring Indian Expatriates in the Netherlands. The aim of this venture was to exploit the love of cricket to bring together the Indian Expatriate Community and strengthen its bonds.  This took shape as the Dutch Indian Premier League (Dutch-IPL) and the first tournament was held in June 2010.

Buoyed by the success of this tournament, we strongly supported the desire to sustain this League and build it further over the years in the Netherlands. Thus, it was decided to create a non-profit Foundation christened the Indo-Dutch Cricket League (IDCL; referred to commonly as “IDCL” or “The League”).
