    Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field with wickets at

    each end made of two bails balanced on three stumps. The pitch measures 22 yards (20 metres). The
    bowling and fielding side tries to stop this from happening and dismisses each batter by stopping the
    ball from leaving the field and reaching either wicket. The batting side scores runs by running
    between the wickets after striking a ball that has been thrown at one of the wickets with a bat (so
    they are "out"). Being bowled, having the ball strike the stumps and remove the bails, having the ball
    caught by the fielding side after being struck by the bat but before it hits the ground, or having the
    ball strike a wicket before the batter can cross the crease in front of the wicket are some of the
    different ways that a player can be dismissed. An inning ends and the sides switch positions once 10
    batters have been retired. In international matches, a third umpire and match referee are present in
    addition to the two umpires who make the final decisions. They communicate with two off-field
    scorers who keep track of the game's statistics.

    Cricket can be played in a variety of ways, from Twenty20, when each side bats for a single innings of
    20 overs (each "over" is a set of six fair chances for the batting team to score), to Test matches,
    which are played over five days. In limited overs cricket, players don club or team colours instead of
    the customary all-white attire. The ball, a solid, hard spheroid made of compressed leather with a
    slightly raised stitched seam surrounding a cork core wrapped in tightly coiled thread, can injure
    players, thus they should wear protection equipment in addition to their standard equipment.

    Cricket was first referenced in South East England in the middle of the 16th century. When the first
    international matches were played in the latter part of the 19th century, it spread across the globe
    along with the growth of the British Empire. The International Cricket Council (ICC), which has more
    than 100 members and 12 full members who participate in Test matches, is the authority in charge
    of policing the sport. The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in London upholds the Laws of Cricket,
    which govern the game. South Asia, Australasia, the UK, Southern Africa, and the West Indies are the
    regions where the sport is most well-liked. [1]

    The freely organised and played sport of women's cricket has also developed to a high level on the
    international stage. With more victories in Test series victories than any other nation and more One
    Day International championships, including five World Cups, Australia is the most successful
    international cricket side.
