Generally the ground or field can be divided into three parts. They are
- 22 yards pitch.
- Infield or Inner Circle.
- Outfield or outer circle or boundary circle.
PITCH
INFIELD
OUT FIELD
Example
- In a 60 yard ground we have In circle=30 yards and Out field=30 yards.
- In a 90 yard ground we have In circle=30 yards and Out field=60 yards.
In sub-continent pitches the radius of outer circle or the length of the boundary from the center of pitch generally ranges from 65 to 80 yards.
=>Infield=30 yards
Out field=35 to 50 yards
In Australian pitches the radius of outer circle or the length of the boundary from the center of pitch generally ranges from 80 to 90 yards.
=>Infield=30 yards
Out field=50 to 60 yards
In small grounds the length of the square boundary from the center of pitch should be at least 60 yards.
But now according to new ICC rules, new grounds should have minimum 70 yards of radius from the center of pitch, then only they will be recognized for International Cricket Matches.
