Today on RÚV English Radio, the surprisingly lengthy history of cricket in Iceland.
Writer Kit Harris has detailed the part played by cricket in Icelandic society, in his book From Lord's to the Fjords: The Saga of Icelandic Cricket.
Two Icelanders watching a key match while on holiday brought their new fascination and love for the sport back to Iceland in 1999 - but as Kit tells Darren, it is possible to trace a place for cricket here back through millennia.
From Lord's to the Fjords: The Saga of Icelandic Cricket is available in book, ebook and audiobook formats:
