Abstract

The origin of cricket is unknown as there are many beliefs regarding the etymology of the word. Some people believe it to be originated from a French word 'Crequet1', meaning a Club while others think it to be derived from an English word 'Crycc'. , which means “stick,” and, in its rude form, resembled the 13th century game known as club-ball. Cricket evolved in England in the 18th century, mainly because of the interest of great landowners who tried their skills on a field of play with their tenants and the local peasantry. Records show that teams from Kent and London played with each other in 1719, and that Kent and Sussex met in 1728.
