Cricket is a popular sport in Wales; it started in the late 18th century, and has been played in Wales ever since. All cricket within Wales is regulated by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), making it officially part of the English and Welsh cricket system. Glamorgan County Cricket Club is Wales' only first-class county team, and Welsh players are eligible to represent England as Wales does not have its own Test cricket team. Cricket Wales is the national governing body for Cricket in Wales and a constituent board of the ECB. Cricket is played within the Welsh schools system, and is considered one of the country's main summer sports.
