About Cricket

The World's Second Most Popular Sport

Cricket is a bat-and-ball sport played between two teams of eleven players. Originating in south-east England in the 16th century, it has grown into a global sport with over 2.5 billion fans worldwide, particularly popular in South Asia, Australia, England, and the Caribbean.

The sport is governed by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and is played in three formats: Test cricket (the oldest and longest form, played over five days), One Day Internationals (50 overs per side), and Twenty20 (20 overs per side, the shortest and most explosive format).

Test Cricket

Unlimited

The pinnacle of the sport. Two innings per side, played over up to five days. The ultimate test of technique, temperament, and endurance.

One Day International

50 per side

The format that produced the World Cup. 50 overs per side, balancing batting, bowling, and strategy in a single day.

Twenty20

20 per side

The modern revolution. 20 overs per side, designed for entertainment, big hitting, and global audiences.
