Greetings,
Sport has a spirit of unity and oneness. It is through Cricket that we build a high sportsmanship ethos in accordance with the ideals of Unity in Diversity. Cricket in Indonesia has developed into a community sport that is in great demand by young people. This is proven by the development of cricket in more than 20 provinces in Indonesia. In fact, Cricket has become an official sport that is competed in the National Sports Week (PON), which is the most important multi-event for the Indonesian sports community.
As an official member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) as well as a partner of the government through the Indonesian National Sports Committee (KONI) and the Indonesian Olympic Committee (KOI), PCI continues to advance in the development of grassroots cricket to achievements in the international arena. Our hope is that Cricket can become a pride for the Indonesian people and also make Indonesia proud on the world stage.
Furthermore, we, PCI administrators, will continue to work for Nusa and the Nation.
