Popular Teams

England, the birthplace of cricket, has remained a powerhouse in the sport since its first international match in 1877. Known for their bold and aggressive style of play in the modern era, shaped by the influence of Brendon McCullum, England continue to be one of the most exciting teams to watch on the world stage.

India is, by far, the most popular cricket team on the planet, backed by a cricket-mad fanbase of nearly a billion people. From the legendary Sachin Tendulkar to the modern-day icon Virat Kohli, India continues to produce cricketing greats and heroes for their devoted supporters.

Australia is the most successful cricketing nation, having won the ODI Cricket World Cup six times. Each time a golden generation steps aside, a new wave of talent rises to continue the Aussies’ domination of world cricket. 

Pakistan, the great entertainers, and equally, the great enigmas. Like India, Pakistan is backed by a passionate fanbase of millions who have witnessed everything from the sublime to the unbelievable.

South Africa boasts the deepest pool of cricketing talent in the world but remains one of the sport’s greatest underachievers, having yet to win a World Cup despite often being tipped as the team to beat. Proteas fans in the Rainbow Nation continue to wait for a new generation to break one of sport’s longest-standing hoodoos.

New Zealand may not always have the star power of cricket's biggest teams but they consistently punch above their weight. In other words, what the Kiwis lack in individual talent, they more than make up for with relentless fight and an unwavering will to win.
