Nondescripts Cricket Club (also known by its initials NCC) is a first-class cricket team based in Colombo, Sri Lanka. It was founded in 1888. The name "Nondescripts" is derived from the fact it was intended to be open to anyone unlike other Colombo-based clubs such as Sinhalese Sports Club, Moors Sports Club and Tamil Union Cricket & Athletic Club which used to be aligned with a particular ethnic group at the time. The team play at the Nondescripts Cricket Club Ground.

A cricket like a dwindled hearse
Crawls from the dry grass.”
