Cricket History
Blurb:
Cricket is one of the world’s oldest organized sports, with roots going back 700–800 years to medieval England. What started as a kids' game with crooked sticks became a global sport watched by billions today.
Excerpt:
The earliest references to cricket appear in 1300s England. A 1598 court case in Guildford, Surrey, mentions men playing "krickett" on common land as children in the 1550s. The game likely originated from rural pastimes where shepherds and farmers used crooked sticks as bats, wooden balls or wool-wrapped stones, and tree stumps or gates as the early form of wickets.”
