NOMADS  CRICKET  CLUB 
  Founded 1903

Nomads Cricket Club was founded on the border of Hampstead and St John’s Wood, London in 1903  as Hampstead Nomads.The name Hampstead was dropped in 1922. Always a wandering club Nomads continues to play a full season of matches in UK on Sundays and Bank Holidays, some Saturdays and many mid weekdays every UK Cricket season. Nomads make regular tours in UK, Europe and Worldwide. We arrange around a 100 matches each season. The weather inevitably disrupts our schedule but since 2015 we have played more than 70 matches each year.

After a false wet start on Good Friday Nomads season began April 10th with a win in freezing conditions!

Nomads’ membership is very broad and diverse, in age and ability, and encompasses a multiplicity of nationalities both from the senior cricket countries as well as many new ones. We also have some women playing members.  Our teams change from week to week and tour to tour. When you play for Nomads you meet many new people, make new cricket friends and visit many new grounds, some grand and some very picturesque. We also organise a number of suppers and a formal dinner in winter and other get togethers.

The club welcomes cricketers from all over the world to join us, playing well and in the best spirit.

This website keeps you informed of all our current activities but also tells our story over a century and in great detail since the millennium.

Nomads plan a full season in 2021 with several Continental tours.

However the early season may yet be disrupted by this wretched Covid and our three Spring tours have had to be cancelled. Fingers crossed we may yet return to normality by early Summer.

In addition to Sunday and several Saturday matches we play a great many midweek games. We welcome new players, young and old, for these games. Have a look at the  Fixtures List 2021 Players(current and new) should  contact Match Managers early to secure  selection.
