Cricket

An explanation of the
Game
First International Match

held between England and
Australia, at Melbourne, from
the 15th to the 19th of
March, 1877
HISTORY OF CRICKET

The Board of Control for Cricket in

India (BCCI) is the national governing body
for cricket in India. The board was formed in
December 1928 as a society, registered under
the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act. It is
a consortium of state cricket associations and
the state associations select their
representatives who in turn elect the BCCI
officials
The first World Cup was organised in England in june
1975, with the first ODI cricket match having been
played only four years earlier. However, a separate
Womens Cricket World cup,had been held two years
before the first men's tournament, and a tournament
involving multiple international teams had been held as
early as 1912, when a triangular tournament of Test
matches was played between Australia, England
and South Africa. Each of the first three World Cups
was held in England. From the 1987 tournament
onwards, hosting has been shared between countries
under an unofficial rotation system unofficial with
fourteen ICC members having hosted at least one
match in the tournament.
HISTORY OF ICC
1909 - 1963 - Imperial Cricket
Conference
The governing body of world cricket, which has
106 countries currently in membership, began its
life with some very tentative steps. On 30th
November, 1907 the President of the South African
Cricket Association, Abe Bailey, wrote a letter to
F.E. Lacey, MCC Secretary. Bailey, having
accompanied the South African team on their tour
of England, was now on his way home.
 Bailey suggested the formation of an 'Imperial
Cricket Board'. The Board's function would be to
formulate a set of rules and regulations to govern
international matches involving England, Australia
and South Africa. He also wished to promote a
Triangular Test series between the three countries
in England in 1909. Though what was classified as
a Test match had taken place on their own soil as
far back as 1889, South Africa's 1907 tour to
England was the first such visit to include official
Test Matches. South Africa had first played Tests
against Australia in 1902/03.
Origin of Cricket
Evidence suggests it was
played in England in the 12th-
13th century.

In 1744 the London Cricket

Club produced what are
recognizably the rules of
modern cricket
