Cricket originated in England in the 18th century and has since spread globally. The game became popularized through London clubs in the 1700s and early 1800s, including the Hambledon Club and the Marylebone Cricket Club, which became the ruling authority. Famous early matches included Gentlemen vs. Players, Oxford vs. Cambridge, and Eton vs. Harrow. Cricket stadiums now see large crowds around the world. Test matches between international teams began in the late 1800s between England and Australia, helping to establish the sport globally. Key matches now take place regularly between England and countries like Australia, South Africa, the West Indies, and India.
