Home & Away games after Week 7: Harvard leads! Ibrahim(H) & Hayat (BU) in MVP race!
Harvard CC, with a banner of a key supporter, the Hit Wicket Sports Bar & Restaurant (a great place !)
Harvard has been playing matches practically every weekend this Fall, and leading the charge for the expansion of our Home & Away league games all over the USA . It has also enabled the Crimson club to be at the top of the Standings, giving them an excellent chance of being the Home & Away Champion at the end of the season in December – a goal of their leader, Ibrahim Khan.
Boston University, led by Hayat Khan has also been extremely active, is # 2. Not surprisingly Ibrahim is leading in MVP points, with Hayat close behind. Ibrahim has the most runs 243 (and 9 wickets) , whilst Hayat has the most wickets 10 (and 182 runs).
Together with Northeastern’s Pranav Adnani (our # 1 social media promoter), Ibrahim & Hayat’s leadership played huge roles in American College Cricket getting the attention of the Boston Globe’s Jame Sullivan, for a major article (share it !)
