Most of Americans don't know about it

 Most people in America are not interested in cricket.  Again the cricket world is not interested in America.  Yet there is cricket in America.  Cricket also has America.  Will this word 'have' become 'will be'?  The answer lies in the womb of the future.

American Cricket Team

Among popular American sports like baseball, cricket has no place in the first place that comes to mind.  But the number of cricketers in America can put the country to shame by playing many Tests.  The number of nine to nine is about two lakh.  None of whom, except a few, are actually American.

Actually there are some people in Britain who are interested in cricket.With their interest and love, cricket has started to take root in the country of baseball and football.  Over the past few years, the popularity of cricket is increasing in different cities of America.  The number of South Asians living in America has doubled in the past two decades.  Every summer boys and girls of different ages can be seen playing cricket in local parks or fields.  Native Americans also often stand and watch.  Some try to find similarities with baseball.

America is one of the hosts of the 2024 T20 World Cup.  On that occasion, they will play in the main stage of the World Cup.  ICC is also looking at the success of T20 World Cup.  The inclusion of cricket in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics could be easier in that case.

 American cricket first stepped into the international arena in 1844 in Manhattan.  America lost to Canada in that match.  According to information, cricket was first played in America in 1737 in Georgia.  Taking that account, America's identity with cricket is 235 years!  There was cricket in America, there is cricket.  Will there be?

 Baseball has a history of being ahead of cricket.  Cricket played in Georgia in 1737 is mentioned by Tom Melville in the book 'The Tented Field'.  As the reason for the backwardness of cricket, he wrote, “During the civil war, cricket was difficult to play.  Cricket requires a smooth batting surface.  Baseball doesn't need that.  Another reason, he writes, is that baseball was played much less frequently.''  "Baseball was second and far behind until the Civil War," he wrote in the book.

Cricket is also a long game.  Why is interest in cricket increasing?  One of the reasons for this is that cricket is much more exciting than baseball.  More incidents than usual.  The more exciting the game, the more American people like it.  IPL is the main reason for changing the perception of people in America about cricket.  After the start of IPL in 2008, sports lovers got a taste of the frenzy and excitement of T20 cricket.  Franchise leagues have started gradually in all countries.  IPL and other leagues have changed the 'boring' perception of cricket.  The attitude of sports lovers is broken due to the smallest version of cricket.  After Tests, one-day cricket, then T20s - cricket has changed its character with time.  This evolution of cricket has kept its attraction and popularity intact.  Along with changing the character of the game, colorful costumes, playing at night also added an extra dimension.  British sports journalist Tim Wigmore wrote about T20 cricket, "IPL has made Indian cricket America's favorite."  An international competition.  World's best cricketers play.  The funny thing is, an Indian team always wins.''  This action of the Indian Cricket Board also created the interest of American people towards cricket.  BCCI also took the idea of ​​creating city-based franchises from America.

America will not be able to compete with countries like India, Australia, England, Pakistan by playing first-class cricket.  Officials hope that once it gains popularity, it will be difficult to stop cricket in America.  America will also have to compete in the 22-yard fight in the near future.
