The Story
The Beginning of Himalayan Winds- In the summer of 2023, four friends came together with one simple dream — to relive the thrill of the 22 yards after decades away from the game they loved. What started as friendly weekend cricket soon grew into something much bigger. As the sound of leather on willow echoed once again, so did the laughter, cheers, and stories that came with it. They realized this wasn’t just about cricket anymore — it was about community, connection, and creating a space where anyone with a love for the game could belong.From that vision, Himalayan Winds was born — a not-for-profit cricket club dedicated to bringing together enthusiasts of all ages and backgrounds. Whether you’re picking up a bat for the first time or returning after years, here you’ll find a home, a team, and a reason to fall in love with cricket all over again
