First-class cricket is a high-level form of the game that involves teams playing matches over several days, usually four or five, with each team having two innings. It is the traditional format of the game, considered the standard for professional and elite cricket, and is played at the domestic and international levels. First-class matches are often longer and more strategic than limited-overs formats, allowing teams to plan their batting and bowling over multiple days. The team with the most runs after both innings is declared the winner. First-class cricket is used as the foundation for developing players for international cricket.
