Vijay Eshwaran

Director, Adult Cricket League / Co-founder of HCCL

Cricket has been his life since childhood days. The game has given him much pleasure and joy throughout his life and his passion for the game got his life going. When he arrived in the US in the early 2000s, he wanted to go back to India as there was no cricket played in the Maryland area, and he was unable to watch cricket matches when India was playing. Along with Murali, another founding member of HCCL, he started the cricket league in Howard County with 4 teams, and they invested much of their time to take cricket to the next level. Their love for cricket helped unite the cricket community, and paved way for future success.

Working alongside his friends, Murali and Falgun, they found ways to work with Howard County Rec and Park officials, and were able to get cricket on Howard County's sports list. It is because of them that cricket has flourished in Howard County, and now, there are about 40 teams registered in Howard County! Now, he is a member of the Howard County Cricket Board, and is striving to get required infrastructures, organize leagues and other cricket tournaments in Howard County.
