2. Cricket is a sport which was first invented by the English in the late 18th
century. Although there are different rules for other sports, but in cricket, the
rules are one kind of law. Most of these laws were written in the nineteenth
century on a playground called Lord’s in London; That is why Lords is called
the “Home of Cricket”.
Today we will learn how a complex game like cricket become one of the most
popular sports in the world.

3. The Origin Of Cricket
Many people think that cricket started in 1877. But the game of cricket did not start in 1877.
It was introduced in the seventh century. In the Indian subcontinent, there was a game called ‘Bat
ball’.There residents of the Doab area of the Punjab region introduce a game called ‘bat ball,’, which
was similar to cricket. Towards the end of the 8th century, the game spread through the people of
the Doab region of Punjab to Persia.
After the eighth century, towards the end of the ninth century, people living in the desert of
Indian territory left the region and went to Turkey. The game with them also spread to Europe.In
1183, it is known from the writings of Joseph of Exeter that after the conquest of England in the
year 1066, the Normans started playing cricket for their entertainment. Cricket is spread by them.
They named the game as (Creagh) or (Cricke) and the game was held only on Sundays during a
week.

4. The dark age of cricket
In 14th century everyone was addicted to conquering the state.But there were not enough
soldiers to fight because of cricket.So the King Richard II(1367-1400) of England banned
cricket in England. At that time, if anyone violated the rule and played cricket, he would be
severely punished.
Cricket regained its popularity after the 15th century. The game that was known as (Creagh or
Cricke) before 1500 AD became known as (Crickett or Crickette) after 1600 AD. Cricket was
still banned there, but the people of Europe continued to play cricket with the unwritten bans.
Then gradually the game of cricket became more popular

5. The Advancement Of Modern Cricket

cricket did not become completely modern before 1744. In 1744, various rules
of modern cricket were enacted and cricket was played according to that rules.

focus due to the long duration of cricket.Robertson then planned a short-length
format.
