The game

Cricket is a game of strategy between two teams. Each team bats and fields in turn – the batters try to score runs; the fielders try to stop them. The team with the most runs wins. A run is scored when the striking batsman (the batsman that the bowler is bowling to) runs from one crease line to the other, after hitting the ball. 

The earliest reference to cricket is in South East England in the mid-16th century. It spread globally with the expansion of the British Empire, with the first international matches in the second half of the 19th century.

The game’s rules, the Laws of Cricket, are maintained by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in London. 

William Gilbert Grace – an English amateur cricketer who was important in the development of cricket is called Father of the Cricket.
