Cricket: The World’s Second Most Watched Team Sport| globally, following soccer. Its rich history dates back to the late 16th century in South-East England, where it emerged as a pastime that evolved into the national sport by the 18th century. From there, cricket expanded worldwide, gaining popularity throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.
The game has adapted through various formats over time. Today, the most popular version is T20 (Twenty20) cricket—a fast-paced, shortened format designed for modern audiences. Traditional formats still thrive, such as the One Day International (ODI), which spans around six hours, and the Test Match, the sport’s longest format, played over five days.
After 125 years, cricket is returning to the Olympic stage at the 2028 Los Angeles Games. The sport was last featured in the 1900 Paris Olympics.
Cricket’s roots in America are deeper than many realize. It was played in Virginia as early as 1710 and on Georgia plantations by 1737. Historian David Sentance explores this fascinating journey in his book Cricket in America: 1710–2000.

Major League Cricket coming to the US
The founders of Major League Cricket have been deeply involved with cricket in the US, particularly with the establishment of the US as a major broadcast market for cricket. MLC is co-founded by the founders of Willow TV, the largest cricket broadcaster in North America. USA Cricket is the governing body of cricket in the United States. USA Cricket operates all of the United States national representative cricket sides, including the men's and women's national teams and youth teams. The body was unveiled on September 24, 2017 as a proposed successor to the United States of America Cricket Association, which had been expelled from the International Cricket Council (ICC) in June 2017 due to governance issues. In January 2019, it was approved as an associate member of the ICC.

The ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup is an international cricket tournament organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC) contested by national under-19 teams. First contested in 1988, as the Youth World Cup, it was not staged again until 1998. Since then, the World Cup has been held as a biennial event, organized by the ICC. The first edition of the tournament had only eight participants, but every subsequent edition has included sixteen teams. India have won the World Cup on a record four occasions, while Australia have won three times, Pakistan twice, and Bangladesh, England, South Africa and the West Indies once each. Two other teams New Zealand and Sri Lanka have made it to tournament finals. Bangladesh are the current defending champion.
International Test Cricket
Test cricket is the form of the sport of cricket with the longest match duration, and is considered the game's highest standard. Test matches are played between national representative teams that have been granted Test status, as determined and conferred by the International Cricket Council (ICC). The term Test stems from the fact that the long, grueling matches are mentally and physically testing. Two teams of 11 players each play a four-innings match, which may last up to five days (or longer in some historical cases). It is generally considered the most complete examination of a team's endurance and ability. The first officially recognized Test match took place between 15 and 19 March 1877 and was played between England and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). In October 2012, the ICC recast the playing conditions for Test matches, permitting day/night Test matches. The first day/night game took place between Australia and New Zealand at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide, on 27 November – 1 December 2015.

Women's Cricket
The United States women's cricket team is the official women's national cricket team for the United States. They have never been to the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup and in their last attempt only won once and lost the other five matches.[5] In April 2018, the International Cricket Council (ICC) granted full Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between the United States women and another international side after July 1, 2018 will be a full WT20I.[6] In March 2019, Julia Price was appointed as the head coach of the team. Price had previously played international cricket for the Australian women's cricket team.[7]
