Hi
I have never played soccer or baseball. These are not popular forms of sport where I live. Cricket is all we have and we love it. But I want to learn the general rules and have some basic knowledge of these sports.
In cricket they have ICC - the international governing body of cricket. It's like an international cricket-UNO. It governs, sets rules, and holds competitions at international level. Then, most countries have domestic competitions held by local bodies and these bodies are recognized by national cricket governing body of respective countries. In India national cricket body is Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Indian Premier League (IPL) is a local body recognized by BCCI and holds domestic competitions. IPL has many teams made up of players from many different countries. Likewise, in England they have County cricket and each county has its own team. Though, I don't know how English domestic cricket really works.
Some days ago I was reading about the baseball and came across Major League Baseball (MLB). Is it some local body or an international body which govern baseball internationally? Is there some international body?
Is there any international governing body for soccer?
Please help me to learn about these games. Thanks.
