Cricket is a popular bat-and-ball sport played between two teams of 11 players on a field with a pitch at the center. Some key aspects of cricket include its long history in England dating back to the 16th century, rules where teams take turns batting and fielding to score runs, various match formats from short T20 games to multi-day test matches, and extras being runs scored other than by the batsman hitting the ball like no balls or wides. Women's cricket has also grown internationally since matches began in the early 20th century.
