The Evolution of Cricket

Cricket's origins trace back to late 16th-century England, with the sport gaining a firm footing in the 18th century. It spread internationally in the 19th and 20th centuries, with the first formal Test cricket matches played in 1877. Cricket is the world's second most popular spectator sport, just behind association football (soccer). The International Cricket Council (ICC) governs the sport, with over 100 member countries, though only twelve play Test cricket. The game's rules are laid out in the "Laws of Cricket," and it offers a variety of formats, from short T-10 matches, which last about 90 minutes, to Test matches, which can extend up to five days.
