Cricket is one of the most popular sports ever played on this planet. In terms of popularity this sport is only behind soccer. The history of cricket is very colorful and rich, however its exact origins are still not known. The term cricket is coined from the word "cric" which stood for hooked staffs which are carried by shepherds. In its early day's cricket were considered only as a child's game and not for adults. But soon after its introduction cricket started gaining popularity in different parts of the world.
In the year 1788, first official cricket rules were framed. Marylebone Cricket Club wrote these rules. The rules that are followed in present day's cricket were much similar to those that were drafted in 1788. Cricket soon became to call as "The Gentlemen's Game". In 1844 first international cricket match was played in New York, United States. The ICC was formed in 1909 and in the year 1960 first shortened version of the game, known as one-day international or ODI was played between English teams. The recent and shorter version of cricket, popularly known as T20 is gaining a lot of popularity these days due to the fast nature of the game. Today cricket has become a well loved sport. The history of cricket may appear rocky, but cricket is here to stay.
