Cricket was introduced to North America via the English colonies in the
17th century, probably before it had even reached the north of England. In
the 18th century it arrived in other parts of the globe. It was introduced
to the West Indies by colonists and to India by British East India Company
mariners in the first half of the century. It arrived in Australia almost as
soon as colonization began in 1788. New Zealand and South Africa followed in
the early years of the 19th century
