Cricketed

/ˈkrɪkɪtɪd/ adjective

Definition

Played or engaged in the sport of cricket; characterized by or involving cricket.

Etymology

From 'cricket' (the sport) + '-ed' (past participle or adjective form). While 'cricket' may derive from Old French 'criquet' (stick or club), the sporting meaning developed in medieval England around the 12th-13th century.

Kelly Says

The sport of cricket is over 500 years old and is played by over 100 million people worldwide—'cricketed' isn't commonly used, but 'a cricketed field' or 'cricketed summers' poetically captures the essence of the sport!
