BEYOND THE BOUNDARY: A JOURNEY THROUGH CRICKET'S RICH HERITAGE uni-swift.com
When it comes to team sports cricket is very popular. It can be termed as the second most popular game in the world, the first being soccer. Cricket originated from England but now many countries have their own national teams that compete against one another during tours, tournaments and world championships.
The game has evolved and changed a lot from its original traditional format. Today we not only have one day innings (50 overs format), test matches, cricket series but also T-20s (20 overs format) and many cricket tournaments that keep fans excited all year round. Whenever these tournaments take place the tickets sell in minutes and fans fill up the stadium to support their favorite team. Very often live coverage is given to these events which have helped increase the sport’s popularity and fan base.
The bat and ball game is played between two teams comprising 11 players and each team takes turns batting and bowling. Having said that, it doesn’t mean it can’t be played without eleven players. Those who love it can start practicing with as many people as they want to and all you need is a bat and a ball and enthusiasm for the sport. Recreational cricket can be played at home, parks or streets and competitive cricket is played on the pitch.
