Additional Info

via Wikipedia
Cricket is a bat-and-ball team sport that is first documented as being played in southern England in the 16th century. By the end of the 18th century, cricket had developed to the point where it had become the national sport of England. The expansion of the British Empire led to cricket being played overseas and by the mid-19th century the first international matches were being held. Today, the game's governing body, the International Cricket Council, has 104 member countries. With its greatest popularity in the Test playing countries, cricket is the world's second most popular sport.
