'''Cricket''' is a bat and ball game played between two teams of eleven (with a "12th man" on hand in case of injury), normally in the local summer season. At international level, it is played primarily in three forms: Test cricket (played over five days), One-Day International (ODI) cricket (a shortened form of the game, with each team batting one innings of up to 50 overs), and "Twenty20" (T20) cricket (20 overs per side; this version allows a match to finish in roughly 3–4 hours making it suitable for media broadcast).

Cricket is also played at state, provincial and county levels, and traditional matches between club, village and public house teams are still played in summer on the village greens of [[England]] and the playing fields, parks, school grounds and even, on a less formal level, the streets, backyards and beaches of cricket playing nations. See [[Backyard cricket]].
