How Cricket Started?
The origins of the game of cricket are lost in the mists of time. The first ever reference to cricket being played is thought to be in 1300 between Prince Edward I and his friend Piers Gaveston. However, the first ever-recorded match took place at Coxheath, Kent in 1646.
Originally an English game, cricket was born among the shepherds. Years ago, cricket was quite different from the cricket we know today. In fact, two different games were played, which were similar to present day cricket. They were club ball and stool ball.
