Cricket wird oft mit sonnendurchfluteten Stadien, saftig grünen Feldern und dem Gebrüll einer leidenschaftlichen Menge in Verbindung gebracht. Aber was wäre, wenn wir Ihnen sagen würden, dass eines der einzigartigsten Cricket Turniere der Welt nicht auf Rasen, sondern auf einem zugefrorenen See im Herzen der Schweizer Alpen stattfindet?

A film production team will be present during Cricket on Ice to capture footage for the upcoming documentary "Une Terre Sableuse", directed by Keerthigan Sivakumar and produced by Bande à Part Films.

Cricket is often associated with sun-soaked stadiums, lush green outfields, and the roar of a passionate crowd. But what if we told you that one of the world’s most unique cricket tournaments takes place not on grass, but on a frozen lake in the heart of the Swiss Alps?
