==History==
Cricket began in Shmakalaka in 1875 when a Porto Azul xi side played Georgetown xi in a 4 day match. Eventually in 1892 the original Cotilla shield was played between Porto Azul, Soresta and Hamilton. Shmakalaka played there first test match against England in 1901.
Due to the threat of terrorist attacks, between the years of 1971-76, Shmakalaka were banned from hosting any matches as the Shmakalakan Crisis was raging on. This had a very strong impact on cricket in Shmakalaka as the nation was not playing many matches and thus saw a significant dip in popularity. In 1978, West Indies toured Shmakalaka ending the drought of teams touring Shmakalaka. The popularity was regained following the successful 1999 Cricket World Cup campaign seeing Shmakalaka qualify for the semi finals only to lose to eventual Pakistan.
