How to get into Cricket

Cricket is a social sport that is becoming more accessible due to a variety of formats - games can be played in a host of environments, ranging from 15 minutes to five days.

It's a team sport, but key skills - batting, bowling, fielding - rely on individual gifts. Traditionally it's been played on a field with 11 players per side. While still popular, there are now many other ways to play newer, scintillating styles - within sports halls, local parks, playgrounds and, in some cases, cages!

Why get into cricket? It's a game of brilliant intricacy and variety, and the sound of leather on willow is incredibly satisfying!

Who is it for? Cricket has evolved in recent years and can be adapted for any age, ability, or type of weather.

Is there a cheap option? For playground cricket, just grab a bat and a tennis ball. You can improvise to create some stumps.

What if I want a proper workout? Cricket can be explosive, especially if you're a big-hitting batsman or a fast bowler in shorter formats.

Can I take it to another level? Join a club to receive proper coaching and play competitively.
