Five University will compete for the prestigious Shivnarine Chanderpaul Championship Trophy that will be awarded to the winning Team. According to the organizers Chanderpaul, the 2008 ICC and the Windies Cricket player of the year, has endorsed and fully supports the Championship. The University of Miami, Boston University, Montgomery College, Carnegie Melon University and the University of South Florida are scheduled to participate in the Championship. "Everyone on the UM Team is looking forward to playing against cricketers from the other teams. I'm sure friendships will be established. At the end of the day, we're all going to go back with wonderful memories and who knows, we might end up taking the Chanderpaul Trophy to Coral Gables", stated Kalpesh Patel, Captain of the UM Team. American College Cricket has teamed up with the LAJ Foundation which is seeking the donation of school supplies for inner city schools in Jamaica. Cricket fans attending the Championship are asked to contribute to this worthy goal. American College Cricket is sponsored by DreamCricket.com, CricketWorld.com, Laparkan Shipping, the City of Lauderhill, Bedessee Sporting Goods, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, the National Weekly Newspaper among others. "This is only the beginning", stated Lloyd Jodah, President of American College Cricket. "The response from Universities throughout the United States has been tremendous. Given the necessary time to seek funding from the Athletic Departments, Universities are confident that they will come to South Florida next year for the American College Cricket Spring Break 2010. We'll have well over 30 Teams next year". Cricket action gets underway on Friday March 20 at 9:00 AM and continues until Sunday March 22 when the Championship will be decided.
