Association de Cricket en Panama

Cricket in Panama began with colonials who came from the West Indies area during the construction of the Panama Canal. Most of them originated from India and they joined local people in playing cricket on their day off - Sunday.

After the colonials left the country, grounds that were previously used for cricket were used for soccer games as there was a drop in interest in cricket. But an increase in people of Indian origin saw the creation of the Indian Society, which set about finding a venue for cricket to be played, and to interact with each other, and so the game grew.

Panama joined the ICC as an Affiliate Member in 2002 and since then the game has been flourishing among the youngsters in the country.
