How this list was compiled

A list of 95 cricket tournament names written by Wheel of Teams on 2026-10-03 and filed in four groups. They are our own suggestions. Every name carries a cricket word (a wicket, an over, a boundary, a duck, the stumps, a tape ball) and names the event, not a team. The terms were looked up on 2026-10-03 in the English Wikipedia's Glossary of cricket terms (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_cricket_terms) and, for the backyard rules, its Backyard cricket article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backyard_cricket), text under CC BY-SA 4.0. No league, trophy, board or tournament that exists is named. Each name was also looked up in the English Wikipedia on 2026-10-03, as an article title and as an exact phrase in the text of its articles, and none stood there as an event; that look-up does not find a local event. Compared by script the same day with every other list on this site: no name is repeated. Nothing was checked against a trademark register, so a local tournament may share a name by coincidence.
