Beach Cricket is a less structured version of cricket, played on the beach or any sandy area.

Beach cricket, a laid back version of the sport, is played and enjoyed by beach goers around the world. Loose requirements in terms of equipment and number of players make the game easy to start and play. This, coupled with relaxed rules, allow for everyone to participate and enjoy.

Enjoy time at the beach by playing a casual game of cricket.

The pitch is set up on a flat strip or hard-packed area of sand. Any sturdy, upright items can be placed at opposite ends of the pitch to serve as wickets. Tennis balls are usually recommended, though any similar sized ball can work. Boundaries are usually drawn in the sand, rather than marked with a physical object. Depending on the number of players present, games can consist of taking turns batting and bowling, or can be of a more traditional format

The origins of cricket can be traced back to 16th century England. Started as a children's game, cricket was soon adopted by adults and was played in inter-village competitions. As England spread its influence around the world, cricket exploded in popularity. By the end of the 19th century, cricket had become established in India, North America, the Caribbean, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Throughout the 20th century, the game went through a number of changes, as different styles of play were introduced. One of these new styles, beach cricket, was developed as a way to casually play cricket while spending leisure time at the beach. The game is popular throughout the cricket-playing world, due to its simplified rules and basic equipment requirements.

Bat
Wickets (any item that serves as a marker will suffice)

Beach cricket is a relatively safe sport. Injuries to the legs and knees can occur though, due to the uneven nature of sand.
