Explanation

The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) was founded in 1787, making it the oldest cricket club in the world. Based at Lord's Cricket Ground in London, the MCC was the governing body of cricket until the ICC was formed. The other dates are incorrect: 1687 is too early (cricket wasn't organized), and 1817, 1887 are decades after the actual founding.
