The club was founded some 30 years ago at “The Sportsman” on Metchley Lane, Harborne, which was our base was for many years. New opponents are always welcomed.

The Sportsman Cricket Club is a small “village-type” cricket club dedicated to the playing of the Summer Game in the spirit to which it was intended; that is hard, competitive, but always with an eye to good sportsmanship and camaraderie. We play our home games not far away at West House, a small enclosed preparatory school ground, which makes an idyllic setting for a game of cricket. At present,

❤️🏏 MILES APART. UNITED BY THE GAME WE LOVE.

Different countries. Different cultures. Different journeys.

But today, Sportsman CC and our visitors from Barbados came together through one shared love — cricket. 🌍🏏

Thousands of miles may separate us, but the moment we step onto the same cricket field, the distance disappears.

Because cricket has a language of its own.
It creates friendships. It connects communities. It brings people together who may otherwise never have met.

Today wasn’t simply about a game of cricket.

It was about two teams, from opposite sides of the world, sharing the same field, the same passion and the same love for this beautiful game. ❤️

From Barbados to Birmingham, one thing connects us.

CRICKET. OUR GAME. OUR PASSION. OUR LOVE. 🏏❤️

Thank you to all involved for being part of a truly special moment in Sportsman history.

Different shores. One game. One love. 🏏🌍❤️

💯❤️ 50 HUNDREDS. ONE SPECIAL MOMENT.

A milestone this big deserves to be celebrated together. 🏏

The team coming together to recognise Waqas Ahmed reaching an incredible 50 centuries for Sportsman CC.

For years, we’ve watched Waqas produce innings after innings, score thousands of runs and win games for this club.

But 50 hundreds for one club is something truly special.

Behind every hundred is another memory, another celebration and another chapter in an unbelievable Sportsman career.

This time, the whole team was there to celebrate with him. ❤️

An incredible achievement from one of Sportsman CC’s very best.

Congratulations, Waqas 👑💯
