Category:History of cricket

This category has been created to hold generic articles about the history of world cricket and to act as the gateway into the cricket history structure. All articles about specific historical topics should be categorised in an appropriate sub-category to prevent clutter at this level and to keep articles with similar subject-matters together. This is for the benefit of the readers and to aid navigation of the system.

The main sub-categories that are controlled by this category are country histories and also the histories of Test cricket and women's cricket.
