Cricket has evolved over the years. For a game which was played for the first time as early as the 18th Century, it has come over with the test of time. Cricket started with the longest format of the game, then the limited overs format came into the fore. Modern day cricketers play for the country as well as they make their presence felt in the various cash rich T20 leagues. The shorter the format, the more money will be earned seems to be the modern day mantra. Even though there have been a lot of criticisms over the cricketers being inclined more to play in these money minting leagues than for the country, but the best of players have stood the test of times.
