 Indian cricket
Cricket has been one of the most popular sport in India, it is played almost
everywhere in the country and a prominent part of the country. The
Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is the governing body of Indian cricket
and conduct all domestic tournaments and select the players for
India national cricket team and India women's national cricket team.
Domestic competitions in India annually organized by BCCI include the Ranji Trophy
, the Duleep Trophy, the Vijay Hazare Trophy, the Deodhar Trophy, the Irani Trophy
and the NKP Salve Challenger Trophy. The Indian Premier League, a Twenty20
tournament where various city-based franchises compete in a style similar to
American football, is one of the biggest sporting leagues and the biggest cricketing
league in the world. In 2023 it launched a similar league for females, the
Women's Premier League (WPL).
Field size[edit]
The ICC Standard Playing Conditions define the minimum and maximum size of the playing surface for
international matches. Law 19.1.3[1] of ICC Men's Test Match Playing Conditions as well as ICC Men's One
Day International Playing Conditions states:
19.1.3 The aim shall be to maximise the size of the playing area at each venue. With respect to
the size of the boundaries, no boundary shall be longer than 90 yards (82 metres), and no
boundary should be shorter than 65 yards (59 metres) from the centre of the pitch to be
used.
The equivalent ICC playing conditions (Law 19.1.3) for international women's cricket require the boundary to be
between 60 and 70 yards (54.86 and 64.01 m) from the centre of the pitch to be used.[1]
In addition, the conditions require a minimum three-yard gap between the "rope" and the surrounding fencing or
advertising boards. This allows players to dive without risk of injury.
The conditions contain a heritage clause, which exempts stadiums built before October 2007. However, most
stadiums which regularly host international games easily meet the minimum dimensions.
A typical Test match stadium would be larger than these defined minimums, with over 20,000 sq yd (17,000 m2)
of grass (having a straight boundary of about 80m).[2] In contrast an association football field needs only
about 9,000 sq yd (7,500 m2) of grass, and an Olympic stadium would contain 8,350 sq yd (6,980 m2) of
grass within its 400m running track, making it difficult to play international cricket in stadiums not built for
the purpose. Nevertheless, Stadium Australia which hosted the Sydney Olympics in 2000 had its running
track turfed over with 30,000 seats removed to make it possible to play cricket there, at a cost of
A$80 million.[3] This is one of the reasons cricket games generally cannot be hosted outside the traditional
cricket-playing countries, and a few non-Test nations like Canada, the UAE and Kenya that have built Test
standard stadiums.
