In the SF Bay area there are a number of cricket leagues. We played in the GPL (Google Premiership League) but actually spent more time practicing. There's also cricbay, which has over 110 teams in the bay area. 110. Visit baseball diamonds on a Saturday morning and there's a good chance you'll find a cricket game. (At least, that was before the pandemic.) The cricket and the players is something I'll actually miss about moving out of the bay area!
Why? I'd imagine any tech company or companies with large IT / software departments would have cricket team. At least I have found at most places I worked.
Why the tech/software link at all? Large (or not even that large really - size probably more an indicator of variety than existence at all) companies in general tend to have 'extra-curriculars' like that, cricket or otherwise, even if it happens entirely off-site and out of working hours, it's just an easy way to know people and organise such things.
The link I think is because tech/software people tend to have a lot of brown (brown as in South Asian) people, and a lot of grew up and love playing cricket.
Oh. Well I'm white British (also grew up with cricket) but wouldn't be surprised at companies from around several tens of employees and up having at least one sports team of some kind; the specific sport you want being more likely the larger company.
Most common here are probably football, netball, and cricket, I reckon. So if it was about what sort of company at which to find cricket specifically, then I misunderstood, tech link makes more sense!
