where was cricket invented? A. France b. Belgium c. England?

England is not first to play cricket. I have read BBC sport article which says cricket was invented in France but just two days back news paper of my country printed it was invented in Belgium.I'm from Nepal. If my country goes in top 10 ranking like all sub-continent. Nepal will be cricket mad country. Now cricket is slowly taking over football to become no.1 sport in my country..cricket is now second place in my country.

1. England
2. La petite belge.
3. Cricket as we know it today originated in England. Any similar game has nothing to do with cricket
4. No one knows when or where cricket began but there is a body of evidence, much of it circumstantial, that strongly suggests the game was devised during Saxon or Norman times by children living in the Weald, an area of dense woodlands and clearings in south-east England that lies across Kent and Sussex.

6. Many sports known as British sports have their origins in other countries. Cricket is only played in former British colonies and in Britain, so you can say that the modern cricket was invented in Britain. (To Murphy, Asterix is 100% French, Tintin is from Belgium lol)

8. I suppose England because I think that in Belgium not 100 belgians understand the rules of Cricket. We don't play it neither and I know not a sport in Belgium that could be similar
