Kalpesh Patel, a Columbia graduate student at SEAS, probably loves cricket more than you. Okay, that might not be fair—I have no idea how much you love cricket—but he's sure done a lot for the sport and its exposure in America.
Patel pretty much established the first team to play in the first ever American College Cricket (ACC) season at the University of Miami. Since then, he's seen the game spread itself across the US.
"I have seen the game grow from a league with only five American Colleges in 2008, to one with over 60 North American Colleges (in the United States and Canada)," he wrote in an email to Spectrum.
