Cricket was played at Markham College (the original British School in Lima) from 1960 to 1980. However, very little cricket had been developed in Peru since then. Cricket Peru is now rekindling interest in the British Schools (of which there are now four or five):

• Markham College officially runs a cricket programme for junior boys and girls using coaches employed by Cricket Peru.
• Another school, Hiram Bingham has also started a regular cricket activity for both boys and girls using Cricket Peru coaches.
• Cambridge School in the south of Lima now has an artificial cricket wicket, built with an ICC Development Grant, and this is to be used by the students, as well as providing an excellent training facility for the adults.
• San Silvestre Girls School has an intermittent cricket programme.

In April, 2010, Lima is set to host the inaugural Cricket South America Under-13 Boys Championship, which is an exciting honour for Cricket Peru.
