Cricket is the second largest spectator sports in the world, and is played professionally and at amateur levels on every continent. Cricket, while not well known and popular in the U.S., is often considered as being the roots from which baseball was developed.

Originally a British import, cricket in South Florida, is played mostly by players from the Caribbean and the Asian subcontinent.
