Why Cricket History Matters ?
Cricket isn’t just a sport, it’s a legacy. From Don Bradman’s unbeatable average to Sachin Tendulkar’s 100 centuries, every era has left its mark. Understanding cricket’s past enriches your appreciation of today’s game, connecting generations of fans through shared passion and unforgettable moments.
Cricket’s fascinating journey began in the misty fields of medieval Northern Europe, where shepherds and children played rudimentary club-and-ball games. These simple pastimes gradually evolved into something more structured and competitive.
By the Tudor era of the 1500s, cricket had firmly established itself in the English counties of Kent, Sussex, and Surrey. The game began attracting spectators, wagers, and increasingly formalized rules throughout the 17th century.
Two institutions proved pivotal in cricket’s transformation: The Hambledon Club (circa 1767) pioneered early organized cricket, while the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), established in 1787, codified the Laws of Cricket that form the foundation of today’s modern game.
