How it works

About this sport

Kwik Cricket was developed in the United Kingdom in the 1980s to introduce children to cricket in a safe and accessible way. Played with lightweight plastic bats, balls, and wickets, it emphasizes active participation, simple rules, and inclusive gameplay for all. Batters play in pairs and continue their turn regardless of dismissals, ensuring that everyone gets a chance to bat and bowl. Unlike traditional cricket, boundaries are not counted automatically, and runs must be earned by moving between wickets, making the game more dynamic and engaging. The format is flexible, allowing changes to team size, pitch length, and scoring rules to suit different groups and settings. With adaptations such as softer or auditory balls, batting tees, or shortened running distances, Kwik Cricket becomes highly accessible to players with disabilities, ensuring that fun, cooperation, and inclusion remain at the heart of the game.
