Cricket In Israel Cricket is not often associated with Israel, but the game thrives here thanks in large part to the contribution of Indian Jewry. The Indian domination of local cricket can be gauged from the fact that the Israeli domestic league has 14 teams, of which 12 have a majority of players of In- dian Origin. the remaining crick- eters come largely from other English-speaking countries: Great Britain, South Africa, and Australia. The southern port city of Ash- Cricket Players dod, with its large Indian Jewish community, is the center of Israeli cricket. The city has five teams and three grounds. Noah David- son, who hails from Bombay, is the secretary of the Israel Cricket Association and a former profes- sional cricketer with Central Rail- ways in Bombay "When I immigrated to Israel in 1969," recounts Mr. Davidson, "1 made extensive enquiries about the possibility of playing cricket in the country. If there had been no cricket, I would have been depressed, to say the least." It was another former Born- bayan, Harry Jonathan, who set- tled in Ashdod in the 1950s and laid the foundations for what became the Israel Cricket Asso- ciation. And yet another ex- Bombayan, Ezra Ashtankar, is currently chairman of the Israel Cricket Association. Under Mr. Ashtankar's shrewd leadership, Israel has developed from an isolated outpost of cricket into an integrated member of the international cricketing commu- nity. The country competes in the World Cup, though it has yet to make any impact on the interna- tional scene. Mr. Ashtankar recently trav- eled back to India with Mr. David- son following the opening of full diplomatic relations betwee Israel and India. There they met with their cricketing counterparts and agreed that groups of Israeli crick- eting youngsters should be sent to India each year to coaching camps. Through such coaching camps, Israel hopes to elevate its cricketing standards. LI 1111D11 nalz i1lt13`2 lann tyalz to all our friends and relatives. to all our,friends and relatives.
