TapeBall cricket is an informal, fast-paced version of the game that originated in South Asian communities, traditionally played in streets and backyards using a tennis ball wrapped in electrical tape. The format is low-cost, accessible and safer than traditional cricket, and can be played both indoors and outdoors, making it suitable for a wide range of community settings.
Across Leeds, Bradford, Sheffield and Kirklees, TapeBall cricket continues to grow, through the Foundation delivering one-day competitions such as the Ramadan TapeBall Cup and Christmas Day TapeBall Blast, as well as men’s and women’s TapeBall leagues, creating inclusive opportunities for communities to play, stay active and connect through cricket.
