How to play cricket?

 Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players
on a field at the center of which is a 22-yard (20-metre) pitch with a wicket at
each end, each comprising two bails balanced on three stumps. The
batting side scores runs by striking the ball bowled at one of the wickets
with the bat and then running between the wickets, while the bowling and
fielding side tries to prevent this (by preventing the ball from leaving the
field, and getting the ball to either wicket) and dismiss each batter (so they
are "out"). Means of dismissal include being bowled, when the ball hits the
stumps and dislodges the bails, and by the fielding side either catching the
ball after it is hit by the bat, but before it hits the ground, or hitting a wicket
with the ball before a batter can cross the crease in front of the wicket.
When ten batters have been dismissed, the innings ends and the teams
swap roles. The game is adjudicated by two umpires, aided by a third umpire
and match referee in international matches. They communicate with two off-
field scorers who record the match’s statistical information.

Basic rules of Cricket-1
• Cricket is played between two teams each made up of eleven players. (Sometime in junior

• Games comprise of at least one innings where each team will take turns in batting and
fielding/bowling.

• Hitting the wickets with the ball when bowling
• Catching a batsman’s shot on the full
• Hitting the batsman’s leg in front of the wicket (LBW)
• Or hitting the wickets before the batsmen can run to the other end of the pitch
Basic rules of cricket-2
The batmen try to score as many runs as possible before getting out by…
• Hitting the ball and running between the wickets and making it to the other end before the fielders can
hit the wickets with the ball. Each time you run one full length of the pitch it equals 1 run.
• Hitting the ball to the boundary along the ground is 4 runs.
• Hitting the ball over the boundary on the full equals 6 runs.
• The fielding team must get 10 batsmen out before they can change over and start batting.
• The aim of the game is to score as many runs as possible before the fielding team takes 10 wickets. The team
with the most runs wins.

Forms of cricket
 Forms of cricket range from Twenty-20, with each team
batting for a single innings of 20 overs(each "over" being
a set of 6 fair opportunities for the batting team to score)
and the game generally lasting three hours, to Test
matches played over five days. Traditionally cricketers
play in all-white Kit, but in limited overs cricket they wear
club or team colours. In addition to the basic kit, some
players wear protective gear to prevent injury caused by
the ball, which is a hard, solid spheroid made of
compressed leather with a slightly raised sewn seam
enclosing a cork core layered with tightly wound string.

Origin of cricket
 The earliest reference to cricket is south east englend 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 governing body is the Internationa cricket
Council (ICC), which has over 100 members, twelve of which are full
members who play Test matches. The game's rules, the Laws of
Cricket, are maintained by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in London.
The sport is followed primarily in South Asia, Australasia, the United
Kingdom, Southern Africa and the West Indies.
 Women's cricket, which is organised and played separately, has also
achieved international standard. The most successful side
playing international cricket is Australia, which has won seven One
Day International trophies, including five World Cups, more than any
other country and has been the top-rated Test side more than any
other country.
Cricket becomes an international sport
 In 1844, the first-ever international match took place between what were
essentially club teams, from the United States and Canada, in Toronto; Canada
won.In 1859, a team of English players went to North America on the first
overseas tour. Meanwhile, the British Empire had been instrumental in
spreading the game overseas and by the middle of the 19th century it had
become well established in Australia, the Caribbean, British India (which
includes present-day Pakistan and Bangladesh), New Zealand, North America
and South Africa.
 In 1862, an English team made the first tour of Australia.The first Australian
team to travel overseas consisted of Aboriginal stockmen which toured
England in 1868.
 In 1876–77, an England team took part in what was retrospectively recognized
as the first-ever Test match at the Melbourne Cricket
Ground against Australia. The rivalry between England and Australia gave
birth to The Ashes in 1882, and this has remained Test cricket's most famous
contest. Test cricket began to expand in 1888–89 when South Africa played
England.
World cricket in the 20th century
 The inter-war years were dominated by Australia's Don
Bradman, statistically the greatest Test batter of all
time. Test cricket continued to expand during the 20th
century with the addition of the West
Indies (1928), New Zealand (1930) and India (1932)
before the Second World War and then
Pakistan(1952),sriLanka (1982), Zimbabwe (1992), Ban
gladesh (2000), Ireland and Afghanistan (both 2018) in
the post-war period. South Africa was banned from
international cricket from 1970 to 1992 as part of
the apartheid boycott.
