Cricket was introduced into Iran in the 1920s and 1930s by the British who were working in the oil industry but it died a death when the Iranians took over the oil industry. It was reintroduced in the late 1990s by Iranians returning to live at home after receiving an overseas education. Iran joined the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) in 2003. The leading player and coach was Hossain Ali Saliman who was educated at Karachi university. Tehran has now four Clubs supported by ex-pats. However the clubs at Chah Bahar, Iranshahr, Zahedan and Mashhad are made up almost entirely of locals.
