This work, part of the Badminton Library series, explores various aspects of cricket, covering its history, techniques, and notable figures associated with the game, illustrating the progression of the sport over time.

Written by Andrew Lang, this section outlines cricket's first mentions and its evolution into a formal sport enjoyed by players and spectators alike.
