Cricket players are athletes who participate in the sport of cricket, which is played between two teams. Each team consists of eleven players, and the game is played on a large oval field with a rectangular pitch in the center. Players take on various roles, including batsmen, bowlers, and fielders, each contributing to the team's strategy and performance. The primary objective of cricket players is to score runs while preventing the opposing team from doing so. Matches can vary in format, including Test cricket, One Day Internationals, and Twenty20, each with its own set of rules and duration.
