Cricket as a sport is rarely seen in United States, it is therefore many Americans do not even know the rules that are applied during the play. Cricket in USA is not a famous game and for this reason many TV providers do not provide cricketing channels to them. As a sport cricket is an admirable and appreciable gentleman’s game in major Asiatic and Australian continent. But when the sport travels to United States it shrinks to its knee as many Americans prefer "baseball" over cricket. Many consider the sport to be a replica of the favorite game "baseball" as it involves "bat and ball" similar to its cousin. Maybe, the shape and size would differ but still people like to cling onto their pastime game rather than switching their taste for the gentleman’s game. It is for this reason many TV providers have drawn their hands when it came in providing TV channels that features cricketing actions. They consider it to be a loss in their revenue because the sport is mostly seen within a minority group. There is no doubt that the Americans are unaware of some of the great cricketing legends such as Sir. Don Bradman, Sir. Richard Headley, Sir. Garfield Sobers. In fact cricket in usa started during the supremacy of England. Unlike many other conquered states, the Britishers were responsible of bringing their pastime game in America. Initially, many Americans accepted the alien sport and enjoyed them during their recreation. The sport was mainly played within the wealthy class and was able to produce some of the greats one of them was John Barton "Bart" King. But this didn’t help as inferior groups were either moved out or were prevented to place their foot in the game. This was one of the major reasons for cricket to decline from United States as the middle class switched back and played their usual game and became the masters of "baseball". This was not the end, as America faced many wars due to which cricket was either hampered or shelved. This lead uneasiness while the Americans lost their interest in the sport. This resulted in the downfall of the sport and since then cricket never recovered as one of the favorite sports of "Uncle Sam". But efforts are made to get back the sport in America. The ICC cricketing board is emphasizing the game to excel within the nation and as a result Americans somehow manage to play the sport at the international level. This is little yet to far, cricket as a sport needs to travel a longer distance to get recognized globally.
