Summer Extravaganza - Sunny Sports

Today we will be seeing facts on the History of Cricket. The History of Cricket, for centuries has been unknown and a mystery to us. Before moving on, let me tell you that today's post will depict the History of Cricket cited by other relevant reference sources.

The first reference to the game dates back to 1300 when King Edward 1 aka Edward Longshanks referred in his accounts (which were later found) to a game called 'Creag' being played by Prince Edward, who was then 15 years old.

But, the most widely accepted theory today is that cricket developed among the communities of Weald, which spreads across Kent and Sussex. From here, the game reached London. It is believed that Cricket stood the test of time as a children's game before it was played by adults.

Tomorrow we will see about another 'Sunny Sport'.
