Who devised the laws of cricket?
The earliest known set of laws that appear printed seems to have been published in ‘The New Universal Magazine’ of November 1752 and was titled ‘The Game of Cricket’ as settled by the Cricket-Club, in 1744, and played at the Artillery-Ground, London.
The Laws were first issued as a booklet in 1755, and the first code which was produced by the MCC was written in 1788, since which year the MCC has remained the body in charge of the Laws.
