What Is the History of .cricket?
The .cricket domain was proposed in ICANN's New gTLD Program and became the subject of contention among three applicants: Famous Four Media (dot Cricket Limited), Top Level Domain Holdings Ltd. (TLDH), and Donuts (via Little Cover LLC). In May 2014, a private auction resolved the contention, with Famous Four Media winning the rights. The registry agreement was signed on October 9, 2014, and the domain was officially delegated to the DNS root zone on November 17, 2014.
