Glossary of cricket terms

This is a dynamic list. By nature, it may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.

This is a general glossary of the terminology used in the sport of cricket. Where words in a sentence are also defined elsewhere in this article, they appear in italics. Certain aspects of cricket terminology are explained in more detail in cricket statistics and the naming of fielding positions is explained at fielding (cricket).
