About Menara Cricket Club (MCC)
Interested in playing cricket in Jakarta? Interested in having chilled beer after sweating out in sun? Interested in having pakoda sessions with beer? Interested in having an ‘all-boyz’ pool volleyball and sauna session? Can you pull someone’s leg and have the guts to get your leg pulled as well?
If your answer to any one of the above is NO, you don’t belong to the ‘Bhai Log’ category and you don’t qualify to be part of the MCC!
MCC takes its name (Menara) from the residential complex (Menara Kelapa Gading Condominium) where most of its players reside. Over the last few years, the enthusiastic Indian residents (expats working in Jakarta) of the Condominium had been playing tennis ball cricket on every Sunday morning. This habit became so ingrained in our weekly routine that every member was eagerly waiting for the next Sunday to come.
Such was the passion for the game, that in 2008, we finally decided to launch our own team and play with the ‘big boys’ of JCA. MCC is like a big family which is pursuing its passion of playing some serious cricket along with maintaining the Sunday morning fun cricket. MCC brotherhood is aptly summed up by the term “Bhai Log”, as that’s we are known as.
