On July 24, 2025, the Mongolia Cricket Association joined the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). [3]

Founding

The Mongolia Cricket Association (MCA) was founded to help develop cricket as a recognized sport in Mongolia, at both an academic and national level. MCA began organizing regular cricket games and training sessions in Melbourne in 2012. Many Mongolian students have been involved in these activities, and some of them became members of the association. Over one hundred Mongolians and Australians have attended the matches and training sessions thus far. Battulga Gombo, the founder of MCA, has become the cricket coach after finishing his time with Cricket Australia. [4] [5] [6] [7]

Activities

In Mongolia, MCA members and some alumni from Australian universities expressed their interest to support the activities run by the Association. Initially, MCA aimed to organize regular training sessions at some secondary schools in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. MCA sent some cricket equipment to Mongolia for Mongolian cricketers and students to help them become more interested in the game. The first cricket introductory program in Mongolia was launched by MCA at secondary school number 34 in May 2013 in Ulaanbaatar. The cricket program was four weeks long and resumed during the next school term. MCA has plans to introduce cricket into more secondary schools in Ulaanbaatar.
