Let’s discuss here, how cricket has evolved gradually
after several interruptions and difficulties. This game is developed a lot in
the course of time. Rules are modified and new kits are used for protection of
player. In today’s era it is the 2nd
most popular sports event. The Cricket which is being present in front of us is
updated and upgraded version of cricket.
Test Cricket
Test cricket, the longest form of the sport of cricket considered
the game's highest standard. The term Test stems from the fact
that the long, gruelling matches are mentally and physically testing. Two
teams of 11 players each play a four-innings match,
which may last up to five days. It is generally considered the most
complete examination of a team's endurance and ability.
Standard
time is 5 day, however before it was trailed for 4-day, 3-day and no maximum
limit.
The first officially
recognised Test match took place between 15 and 19 March 1877 and was played
between England and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The matches against a combined Australian XI were
later classified as the first official Test matches. The first match was won by
Australia, by 45 runs and the second by England. After reciprocal tours
established a pattern of international cricket, The Ashes was
established as a competition during the Australian tour of England in 1882. A
surprise victory for Australia inspired a mock obituary of English cricket to
be published in the Sporting Times the following day: the
phrase "The body shall be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia"
prompted the subsequent creation of the Ashes urn. The series of 1884–85 was
the first to be held over five matches.
Teams with Test status
Test
status is conferred upon a country or group of countries by the ICC. There are
currently twelve men's teams that have been granted this status.
The teams with Test status (with the date of each team's Test debut) are:
Australia (15 March 1877)
England (15 March 1877)
3. 
South Africa (12 March 1889)

World Test Championship
Test cricket is the pinnacle of the sport of cricket. It is
the very essence of cricket and the majority of players want to strive to play
the purist form of the game. The ICC World Test Championship is another
brilliant initiative for the sport, adding context and relevance to every Test
series. There has been no World Cup for
Test cricket conducted thus far. However, a league competition for Test cricket
began in 2019–21. The schedule for this Championship is a set of
typical bilateral series in various countries, where one team is the host and
other team is the visitor. The length of each series varies between 2 matches
and 5 matches.
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. It is another way to attract audience towards
root form of the game.
🏏One-Day International 🏏
One-Day Internationals abbreviated as ODI cricket, most dominated format of the cricket,
has played a key role in introducing cricket to the world. One-day internationals—answering the complaint that Test
matches went on too long—began in 1972. In 1975 the first World Cup was contested in England in a series of one-day matches
of 60 overs a side (the number of overs was reduced to 50 in 1987).
The international one-day game is a
late-twentieth-century development. The first ODI was played on 5 January
1971 between Australia and England at the Melbourne
Cricket Ground. When the first three days of the third Test were
washed out officials decided to abandon the match and, instead, play a one-off
one day game consisting of 40 eight-ball overs per side. Australia won the game
by 5 wickets. ODIs were played in white-coloured
kits with a red-coloured ball.
In the late 1970s, Kerry Packer established the rival World Series
Cricket competition. The
first of the matches with coloured uniforms was the WSC Australians( in wattle
gold) versus WSC West Indians (in coral pink), played at VFL Park in Melbourne on
17
January 1979. This led not only to Packer's Channel 9 getting
the TV rights to cricket in Australia but also led to players worldwide being
paid to play, and becoming international professionals. This leads to starting of
a new format.

Twenty20 International
A new format is added to cricket, which is
shorter than ODI called Twenty 20 International. It attracts the spectators
towards its fast and high voltage matches. As the match is over in 3-4
hours, people gather at the stadium to enjoy the match and return home with the
final result of the match. Everyone from children to the elderly is a fan of
this format of the game.
It is the updated and upgraded version of
ODI format. New format is made interesting, modifying some rules of the game. Thousands
of crowds gathered in the stadium on match night and are eagerly waiting to see
their favourite batsman’s Six and their favourite bowler’s Yorker and cheer
them up. This is the most economical format of cricket.
The first Twenty20
International match was held on 5 August 2004 between England and New
Zealand women's teams with New
Zealand winning by nine runs.
The first Twenty20
International match between two men's sides was played on 17 February 2005,
involving Australia and New
Zealand.

T10 Cricket League
League - the world's first
professional ten-of 
A new shortest format is added to cricket. T10
League - the world's first professional ten-over format league. Although it is
not performed by international cricket, since its launch to sell-out crowds in
Sharjah in 2017, the rise of the T10 League, has been exponential. Sanctioned
by the ICC and licensed for ten years by Emirates Cricket Board, each year, the
league’s duration, teams, international stars, broadcasters and fan base has
increased. The brainchild of billionaire businessman, Shaji Ul Mulk,
the T10’s draw is its unique format.
T10 League is a ten-over format cricket league
in the United Arab Emirates launched and owned by T Ten Sports Management. The
league is approved by the Emirates Cricket Board. 10 overs, 90 minutes of fast
paced ‘cricketainment’ – a new, short, high energy format loved by global
audiences and international cricket stars alike. The tournament is a round
robin followed by Eliminators and the Final.
Now the third most watched league in the world
with a global audience of over 100 million, in Season 3, the T10 League will
become unmissable as it becomes the newest official national sports asset of
the UAE.
Following the
success of the T20 game, with play limited to just 10 overs per team. It was
first played from 14-17 December 2017 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
100 ball Tournament
An action-packed, unmissable new 100 ball
cricket competition is coming. One that puts you on the edge of your
seat. Featuring some of the best players from around the world, competing in 8
brand new city-based teams. It’s a signal of the arrival of new electrifying
cricket competition.
100-ball cricket
was first proposed by the England
and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in September 2016. In July 2018, the ECB appointed Trent
Woodhill as a consultant for the new format of the game.
In November
2018, the Warwickshire Cricket Board and Warwickshire
County Cricket Club launched the
100-ball format club level tournament, which is designed to revitalise Sunday
cricket at clubs across the Midlands. Called the Warwickshire Sunday Smash, the 16 -team tournament is split into three
divisions, with each side playing each team both home and away, throughout June
and July.
Format
100-ball
cricket is a form of limited overs cricket, played by two teams
each playing a single innings made up of 100 balls.
The
format of the game is:
·
100 balls per innings
·
A change of ends after 10 balls
·
Bowlers deliver either five or 10 consecutive balls
·
Each bowler can deliver a maximum of 20 balls per game
·
Each bowling side gets a strategic timeout of up to two and a half
minutes
·
A 25-ball powerplay start for each team
·
Two fielders are allowed outside of the initial 30-yard circle
during the powerplay
·
Teams will be able to call Timeouts for strategic planning
·
A simplified scoreboard is also proposed
Many of the players, experts and public are in
favour of this unique format while, some are not agreed with this propose. They
thought that it may be beneficial economically but not improvise quality of
game. Current successful shortest T20 format will dominant this one.
3TC Solidarity cup
The Solidarity
Cup's served as a fundraiser for the people who were financially affected due
to the coronavirus pandemic. A minute of silence was observed in
remembrance of the victims of the pandemic. The match also acknowledged the
global Black
Lives Matter movement,
with players wearing black armbands and taking a knee prior to the start.
The match marked
the return of cricket in South Africa following months of restrictions due to
the COVID-19
pandemic, and was also the first sporting event to be broadcast on television in the
country post lockdown. The match had originally been scheduled for 27 June
2020 but was postponed due as Cricket South
Africa could
not obtain necessary approvals from the Ministry of Sports.

Sport events have become major tourism products and promote
destinations globally. Touring international sides, accompanied by hundreds of
national and international tourists in the form of spectators, players, media
and medical staff have an impact on the host community. It is important to have
thorough knowledge of the profile of the cricket spectator since this
information is useful not only for marketing purposes but also to establish the
nature and impact of these events on the host community. A survey was performed
among cricket spectators at a one-day international cricket match, used to
compile a profile of an average one-day cricket spectator, with the aim to
develop current and future marketing strategies. “Sports is no more source
of entertainment only, it develops the sports tourism.”
The only regret is that cricket is not part of the Olympic Games, Although it is the second most popular sport in the world, its popularity is limited to only a few countries. It needs more publicity. As a cricket lover, I hope it will soon be part of the Olympics and charm and glory of cricket will be spread all over the world.
