Cricket is a popular sport with a long history. It was invented in the 16th century in England. Later, the game spread to countries of the British Empire in the 19th and 20th centuries. Today, cricket is gaining popularity in the USA, with cricket clubs to be found throughout cities, suburbs and townships across the country. In some cases, on any given Saturday and Sunday afternoons in countless communities, you can find friendly pick-up cricket matches played in parks and empty parking lots. There is also a growing interest in growing the sport even further with the formation of the USA Cricket Board.
