Cricket was first played in England in the 16th century. It requires 2 teams of 11 players and is played on a rectangular field. When on offense, players take turns hitting a ball delivered by the opposing team’s bowler with their bat. The object is to hit the ball far enough to be able to run to the end of the field and score a run. The offense continues batting until there are 10 outs and then the fielding team gets their turn to bat.
