Our story
One game.
A community of connections.
Cricket gives us a reason to come together. The people make us want to stay.
Rooted in Central Illinois
A place for the love of cricket.
Founded in 1998, the Central Illinois Cricket Association brings organized cricket to Bloomington–Normal and the surrounding community. Local players, organizers and supporters have shaped its story together.
From outdoor tournaments to indoor competitions, CICA creates opportunities to play, compete and connect. Our purpose remains close to home: develop cricket and build a welcoming community around it.
