In 2008, Koryo Tours arranged the first modern cricket match in Pyongyang. This match involved two visiting amateur teams and the rag-tag home side, the short-lived Pyongyang Cricket Club in a three-way 20/20 tournament over a single day at Taesongsan Park. The local team was made up of Koryo staff, local tour guides*, a bus driver, and a cameraman. At the end of the day, the victors were the visitors - but the sport of cricket was the real winner- and the games went off without a hitch, despite a herd of goats running onto the field at one point, and the quizzical looks of passing local folks and soldiers. So goes the story of the match, a one time-spectacle. Since then, for better or for worse, cricket hasn’t entered the mainstream of DPRK sporting consciousness. After all, Pyongyang has long been more of a baseball town.
