participating on at least one occasion in a game of wicket with his troops was no reason why the leader of the new nation could not be called the same. In 1844, the United States participated in the first International Cricket match. This was played against Canada at Georges Cricket Club Ground, Bloomingdale Park, New York. This is the first international cricket event attended by 20000 people.
