How to See a Game of Cricket

Cricket is one of the world's most popular sports, although few Americans know how to play and or have watched a live cricket game. If you know where to look, you can catch all of the cricket excitement you want in towns and cities across the United States. Because cricket enthusiasts hope to generate interest in their sport, you often can watch many of these cricket matches for free.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Attend cricket matches sponsored by a local cricket club. Several large cities and some states have cricket clubs whose members compete regularly. Many of these cricket competitions are free for spectators, and you are welcome to watch. You can find a cricket match in your area by visiting the United States of America Cricket Association's website, which includes links to leagues and their schedules throughout the U.S., as well as regional tournaments such as the Eastern Conference and the USA National Junior Tournament.

2. Travel outside of the U.S. to watch international cricket matches in countries such as Australia, England, India and New Zealand, where the game is much more popular than it is in the U.S. You can find a list of international games at the ABC of Cricket website.

3. Watch live cricket matches over the Internet. Several websites, including Action 8 Cricket, allow you to keep up with international cricket competition from the comfort of your own home.

4. Learn more about cricket before you attend a match by reading the rules and regulations at the International Cricket Council's website. You can check listings for the ICC's weekly television show "ICC Cricket World," which is broadcast in 110 countries and keeps fans up-to-date on cricket news.
