Explanation

Cricket originated in the 16th century in south-east England during the medieval period. While the question asks 'when it was invented', the 17th century marks when standardized rules began emerging (1597 court case references cricket being played). The 18th century saw formal laws established, and the 19th century brought international matches. By the 17th century, cricket was already established and spreading.
