List of Universities With a Cricket Team

Cricket is a game similar to baseball with two teams of eleven players each. The two most important players are the "bowler" and the "batsman". The "bowler" attempts to hit the "wicket" which the "batsman" tries to defend while also attempting to score a run. There are cricket clubs in Universities throughout the United States.
