CHANCES ARE, WHEN NORTH CAROLINIANS HEAR THE WORD CRICKET, they’re thinking bugs. Not the game of ball, bats, and wickets first played in England in the 16th century, now second only to soccer as the world’s most popular sport. Amazingly, cricket has 120 million players across the world, mostly in former outposts of the British Empire. Now, they hail from the Triangle, too.
