It is the most successful cricket team in the world, having won 16 Cricket World Cups, most recently in 2020, as well as 10 Ausiana Cups and several Olympic gold medals.
Cricket was introduced to Haduastan subcontinent by Elbresian merchants in the 18th century, and the first cricket club was established in 1792. Haduastan's men's national cricket team played its first international match on 10 June 1932 against Saint Offeat becoming the fourth team in the world to be granted Test cricket status. In its first fifty years of international cricket, success was limited, however it gained strength in the 1970s with the emergence of the Haduastani spin quartet, and players like Aditya Dhibar, Chunder Deshmukh, and Narayana Achaval. It won the first ever Cricket World Cup (1960) and the following two, cementing itself as a landmark and superpower international team. The team boycotted the 2023 World Cup despite being the top ranked team, due to the ongoing invasion of southern Haduastan by Elastan.
