New Delhi: Italy have won the football World Cup four times, but when it comes to cricket they are minnows making a historic debut among the game's elite.
The Italians play Scotland in the T20 World Cup at Kolkata's famous Eden Gardens on Monday and will be the lowest-ranked team in the competition.
"How did we get to the World Cup? In Italy we say 'miracolo Italiano', an 'Italian miracle'," said Riccardo Maggio, development officer with the Italian Cricket Federation.
Maggio has spent a lifetime helping cricket grow on the fringes of the football-obsessed nation.
"We're coming to the World Cup, and believe me, we're not coming just once for appearance," he said.
