Cricket's origin is obscure. Evidence suggests it was played in England in the 12th–13th cent., and it was popular there by the end of the 17th cent. By the mid-18th cent. the aristocracy had adopted the game. In 1744 the London Cricket Club produced what are recognizably the rules of modern cricket. The Marylebone Cricket Club, one of the oldest (1787) cricket organizations, is the game's international governing body.

My brother-in-law says that cricket began in India...and the English just put on the white team uniforms and made it as if it were their own. He says everyone knows this...by which he means it is a little known fact that everyone should know, but doesn't! lol
