Cricket is one of the largest and most profitable sports in the world, with its presence in every part of the world. It has been around for centuries, starting from the 1500s, and is still growing strong despite the ongoing circumstances. As of today, about 104 nations are official members of the International Cricket Council.
Cricket is an international sport, but it has individual events, such as the Indian Premier League (IPL), valued at $6.3 Billion in 2018. The value has grown tremendously since then, as is the popularity of the game. With other valuable sports entering the crypto ecosystem, it was time that cricket did too.
Cricket Nation is the world’s first digital collectible or NFT marketplace exclusively for cricket. The platform aims to bring the power of blockchain into the sport and provide a new outlet for cricket fans worldwide to show their love for the game.
