Cricket may be the second most popular sport globally — after soccer — but until this summer, UWindsor cricket players had few options on campus to set up their wickets. 

All that will change this summer as the Graduate Student Society (GSS), with support from the Faculty of Human Kinetics, the Faculty of Engineering and the Odette School of Business, opens a newly renovated cricket pitch on campus.
