খেলবে টাইগার – জিতবে টাইগার
Bangladesh Cricket Club Austria was formed in the year 2013, but its origins go back much further. Cricket was mainly played on rough grounds using tennis balls. Domestic cricket is where it all began. A group of young boys used to play cricket out of passion and simply to enjoy time together. Tennis-ball cricket tournaments were, and still are, very popular among Bangladeshi communities, especially where we play the game. This team was formed with pride, and we are honored to represent Austria at the national level by participating in Austrian Cricket Association competitions. What better way to represent your country than playing in Austria’s national league? Through this initiative, awareness has been raised, positively impacting and developing cricket within the community, with support from the International Cricket Council (ICC) and, more importantly, the Austrian Cricket Association.

People want their work to be divisive, and recognized. Believing that reality, BCCA has become a full-fledged sports and social organization in Vienna in the last 5 years. To maintain that for such a long time I would like to recognize the support from our very own Embassy of Bangladesh, Vienna and also the support from our donors, commercial partners who make such important contributions both financially and in terms of helping build the Club’s name in Bangladeshi community in Austria. Like other ICC (International Cricket Council) registered professional cricket clubs our mission is to establish this wonderful sport in Austria!
BCCA is and will always be a non-profit sporting organization and our main focus is to increase the popularity of cricket in Austria. It also gives us a chance to live out our hobby and motivate ourselves to a constant improvement and focus on performing well. Further we carry this “gentleman’s sport” in our hearts and treat our playmates with respect. With other clubs and organizations, it is our job to save cricket from negativity and be a good example of fair play, which was accomplished properly by our players with a lot of enthusiasm! We are grateful for ambitious and hardworking club members. Therefore, my final thanks goes to all our active and inactive players but also advisers and board members, who kept us going in previous season.

It is an honor for me to have been selected for this role. I have become more attached to this club, simply because of cricket and most importantly the members of this club. I’m looking forward to the future and hope Bangladesh Cricket Club Austria (BCCA) will develop & succeed year by year.I am so proud to see how far the club has progressed since our foundation almost six years ago. It’s without a doubt that we have only got where we are today because of the fantastic support of our community, the tireless work from our committee, and most of all our amazing players & members.
Since our foundation we have been playing constantly in Austrian Cricket League and our goal for the next season is nothing less than playing and performing better then every last seasons. Additionally, our major goal for upcoming seasons should be on One Day League, since there is a lot room for improvement in longer innings. Our goals continue to be the same as in the past years which are to keep improving our game, as well as attracting new members and players from our community. We believe BCCA is not only a club, we are a family and we want to grow together as a family. I’m really excited and determined that BCCA will keep up the good work going and achieve all the success it deserves.
