The sport of cricket has a known history beginning in the late 16th century. Having originated in south-east England, it became the country's national sport in the 18th century and has developed globally in the 19th and 20th centuries.In 1760 a club was formed in England known as "Meryleborn Cricket Club" at Loads in London. MCC (Merylebone Cricket Club ) laid down fresh Rules and regulation of the game in 1835 for inter club matches.The first official test match was played between Australia and England in 1977

History of INDIAN CRICKET

The British brought cricket to India in the early 1700s, with the first cricket match played in 1721. In 1848,the Parsi community in Bombay formed the Oriental Cricket Club, the first cricket club to be established by Indians. After slow beginnings, the Europeans eventually invited the Parsis to play a match in 1877. By 1912, the Parsis, Sikhs, Hindus and Muslims of Bombay played a quadrangular tournament with the Europeans every year. In the early 1900s, some Indians went on to play for the England cricket team. Some of these, such as Ranjitsinhji and KS Duleepsinhji   were greatly appreciated by the British and their names went on to be used for the Ranji Ranji Trophy and Duleep Trophy – two major first-class tournaments in India. In 1911, an Indian team went on their first official tour of the British Isles, but only played English county teams and not the England cricket team.
