![Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of 11 players each on a field at
the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard-longpitch. The game is played by 120 million
players in many countries, making it the world's second most popular sport.[1][2][3] Each
team takes its turn to bat, attempting to score runs, while the other team fields. Each turn
is known as an innings (used for both singular and plural).
The bowler delivers the ball to the batsman who attempts to hit the ball with his bat away
from the fielders so he can run to the other end of the pitch and score a run. Each
batsman continues batting until he is out. The batting team continues batting until ten
batsmen are out, or a specified number of overs of six balls have been bowled, at which
point the teams switch roles and the fielding team comes in to bat.
In professional cricket, the length of a game ranges from 20 overs per side to Test
cricket played over five days. The Laws of Cricket are maintained by the International
Cricket Council (ICC) and theMarylebone Cricket Club (MCC) with additional Standard
Playing Conditions for Test matches and One Day Internationals.[4]
Cricket was first played in southern England in or before the 16th century, though there is
evidence that a version of the game was played in the French village of Liettres as far
back as 1478.[5] By the end of the 18th century, it had developed to be the national
sport of England. The expansion of the British Empire led to cricket being played
overseas and by the mid-19th century the first international match was held. ICC, the
game's governing body, has 10 full members.[6] The game is most popular
in Australasia, England, the Indian subcontinent, the West Indies and Southern Africa.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/cricket-160106165619/85/Cricket-1-320.jpg)

Cricket originated in communities located between Kent and Sussex in the Middle Ages, where it was devised by children. By 1550, cricket was already being played in some schools. In the seventeenth century, cricket expanded to the south of England where 11-player football also existed. By the late eighteenth century, cricket had become the national sport of the country. The batting team scores runs by having batsmen play in pairs from opposite ends of the pitch, with one batsman striking the ball and the other waiting to bat.

About Cricket.pdf
Cricket is a world famous game. The ICC (International Cricket Council) is the world’s
governing organization for cricket. The ICC supervises and administers the game on
behalf of its 108 members, and collaborates with them to promote the sport. It was
brought to North America via the English colonies as early as the 17th century, and it
spread to other regions of the world in the 18th century. Colonists introduced it to the
West Indies, while the British introduced it to India.
fact about Starting 3 Full members of ICC:-
Australia :- In March 1892, representatives from the state associations of New South
Wales, South Australia, and Victoria formed the Australasian Cricket Council, which
became the first central administrative organization for cricket in Australia.
Seven years later, the Council was abolished, and the Australian Board of Control for
International Cricket was founded in 1905. Its inaugural meeting was attended by two
members from New South Wales and two representatives from Victoria. Later that year,
a delegate from Queensland attended its second conference, and its constitution was
revised in 1906 to legally allow for one representation from Queensland and three
representatives each from New South Wales, South
Tasmania was allowed one delegate beginning in 1907, while Western Australian
participation began in 1913. The only other modifications to the number of delegates
granted by the states occurred in 1914 and 1974, when Queensland and Western
Australia boosted their participation to two each.
In 1973, the body was renamed the Australian Cricket Board, and on July 1, 2003, it
became Cricket Australia.
England :- The game of cricket’s beginnings are lost in the mists of antiquity. In the
household records of Edward I in 1300, there is a reference to a game similar to cricket
being played in Kent.
The English game appears to have started in the sheep-rearing area of the South East,
where the short grass of the downland pastures allowed for the bowling of a ball of wool
or rags towards a target. The wicket-gate of the sheep pasture was generally the target,
which was defended with a bat shaped like a shepherd’s crooked staff.
The game was extremely popular as a rough agricultural amusement by the 17th
century, but the leisure classes took up the activity in the next century, notably in
Sussex, Kent, and London. In 1730, an organised match was conducted at the Artillery
Grounds in Finsbury, London. Cricket was played at every level of society by the middle
of the 18th century, from village greens to opulent estates. The game, however, lacked
a consistent set of rules.
In the 1760s, Hambledon, Hampshire, saw the formation of the earliest and most
prominent cricket club in the country. The club was supported by affluent benefactors,
but the players were mostly local traders and farmers. The Hambledon club devised
batting and bowling skills that are still used today, and Hambledon is known as the
“Birthplace Cricket” in history book

The Golden Group is over. Can a new group step up? Two years ago, Kevin De Bruyne plunged Belgium’s Euro 2024 plans into disorder when he claimed the team was “too old” to win in an interview with The Protector. That Belgian squad had 10 players over 30 and the maximum average age of any Euro Cup 2024 team at the competition. A group-stage exit and just one goal at the World Cup put Belgium on course for a restructure.

Cricket
- 1. Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of 11 players each on a field at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard-longpitch. The game is played by 120 million players in many countries, making it the world's second most popular sport.[1][2][3] Each team takes its turn to bat, attempting to score runs, while the other team fields. Each turn is known as an innings (used for both singular and plural). The bowler delivers the ball to the batsman who attempts to hit the ball with his bat away from the fielders so he can run to the other end of the pitch and score a run. Each batsman continues batting until he is out. The batting team continues batting until ten batsmen are out, or a specified number of overs of six balls have been bowled, at which point the teams switch roles and the fielding team comes in to bat. In professional cricket, the length of a game ranges from 20 overs per side to Test cricket played over five days. The Laws of Cricket are maintained by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and theMarylebone Cricket Club (MCC) with additional Standard Playing Conditions for Test matches and One Day Internationals.[4] Cricket was first played in southern England in or before the 16th century, though there is evidence that a version of the game was played in the French village of Liettres as far back as 1478.[5] By the end of the 18th century, it had developed to be the national sport of England. The expansion of the British Empire led to cricket being played overseas and by the mid-19th century the first international match was held. ICC, the game's governing body, has 10 full members.[6] The game is most popular in Australasia, England, the Indian subcontinent, the West Indies and Southern Africa.
