Where was cricket originated?
The game of cricket goes back to at least the 13th century, though it is possibly even older. It was likely first played by farmers' and metalworkers' children in England's Weald, near Sussex and Kent. The first variation of the name appeared in 1598, with a court case referring to a game called krekett being played at an English school. From that point, the game grew to become an immensely popular sport throughout England.
