Vatican City: The Vatican is expanding the reach of its cricket club this season, hosting a Muslim team from Yorkshire and a club from the same Buenos Aires slum where Jorge Mario Bergoglio ministered before becoming Pope Francis.

The Vatican's Pontifical Council for Culture announced the lineup of matches today. They include rematches of the teams the St Peter's Cricket Club played last year during its inaugural tour of Britain: The Church of England XI and the Royal Household cricket club.
