After our foray into the Newsletter (we publish the first and only cricket Newsletter in Japan), we thought we would move into the Japan Cricket Rating! At the moment, only the clubs based in the Kanto region are included in the Rating system. The reason for this is that cricket in Japan is more organised in this region than anywhere else and the information is more readily available here. However, if any club that is included in this Rating is interested to participate, please do contact us by clicking the E-mail us link given at the bottom of this page.
Here is the Indian Engineers' Japan Cricket Rating table, the first of its kind in Japan.
