Under the guidance of Niraj Chaudary, fellow cricket player and&nbsp;dean of the William Knox Holt Memorial Library and Learning Center, Pacific has since provided more resources to the team and has accommodated&nbsp;the rising&nbsp;community of South Asian international students. The club now welcomes dozens of players to each practice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe game that we missed so much when came here, now it&#8217;s something that we play every week,\u201d said club member Yusuf Ejaz \u201924, a business analytics major from New Delhi, India.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of Pacific\u2019s cricket club members come from South Asia where cricket is most popular: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Bhutan and Nepal. However, the club welcomes all Pacific students.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur club is all about inclusivity, and we&#8217;re proud to have members from different parts of the world,\u201d Yusuf said. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The club meets several times a week to accommodate different schedules and accepts new members of all skill levels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sharing cricket with the community\u00a0\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to improving the team\u2019s performance, Dev wants to make cricket more popular in California. In December, Dev and the rest of the club will partner with the City of Stockton to provide a free cricket sports clinic that will teach Stockton youth how to play cricket. Dev believes this would not only enrich the sports community in Stockton but also raise awareness about the sport. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBy fostering a love for the game at an early age, we can build a stronger, more connected community with a shared enthusiasm for cricket,\u201d Dev said. \u201cI believe this program will have a positive impact on both the children and the broader community, enhancing our university\u2019s reputation and community involvement.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dev is optimistic about the team and sport&#8217;s future as he aims to lay the foundation for a stronger and more dynamic cricket club for years to come.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow Pacific\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pacificcricketclub?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&amp;igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cricket Club on Instagram<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group nfd-container nfd-p-md\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group nfd-p-card-md nfd-rounded nfd-gap-xl nfd-shadow-xs nfd-bg-surface nfd-theme-white is-style-nfd-theme-white is-content-justification-space-between is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-3 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group nfd-gap-md is-layout-flex wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-rounded\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1025\" height=\"1025\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pacific.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Burns-Tower.jpg?resize=1025%2C1025&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4383\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:60px;height:60px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pacific.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Burns-Tower.jpg?w=1025&amp;ssl=1 1025w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pacific.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Burns-Tower.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pacific.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Burns-Tower.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pacific.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Burns-Tower.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pacific.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Burns-Tower.jpg?resize=400%2C400&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pacific.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Burns-Tower.jpg?resize=200%2C200&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1025px) 100vw, 1025px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group nfd-gap-0 is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-1 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"nfd-text-md\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\">Learn about Pacific&#8217;s international student experience<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"nfd-text-base nfd-text-faded\">Visit Pacific&#8217;s website <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button nfd-btn-wide is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-nv-site-bg-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-element-button\">International Students<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>University of the Pacific&#8217;s cricket club has enjoyed a remarkable year, highlighted by the completion of a new cricket field on Brookside Field.
