    Cricket's Global Journey - From England to Earth
    Jul 29 2025

    This overview explores the multifaceted history of cricket, beginning with its origins and evolution in England, highlighting its unique characteristics as a pre-industrial sport that matured during the Industrial Revolution, such as its natural materials and the favoring of amateur "Gentlemen" batsmen. The text then traces cricket's spread as a colonial game, taking root primarily in former British Empire territories and detailing its adoption in places like India, where Parsi communities pioneered its establishment despite initial resistance from white elites. Finally, it examines the modern transformation of the game, emphasizing the impact of television and Kerry Packer's innovations in commercializing cricket, which ultimately led to a shift in the sport's global center of gravity towards the subcontinent.
