The origin of the name Barbados is either the Portuguese word Barbados or the Spanish equivalent los Barbados, both meaning "the bearded ones" It is unclear whether "bearded" refers to the long, hanging roots of the bearded fig-tree (Ficus citrifolia), indigenous to the island; or to the allegedly bearded Caribs
once inhabiting the island; or, more fancifully, to a visual impression
of a beard formed by the sea foam that sprays over the outlying reefs.

Cricket was first played in southern England in or before the 16th century. By the end of the 18th century, it had developed to be the national sport of England. The expansion of the British Empire
led to cricket being played overseas and by the mid-19th century the
first international match was held. ICC, the game's governing body, has
10 full members. The game is most popular in Australasia, England, the Indian subcontinent, the West Indies and Southern Africa.
