Correct Answer: 28 inches


Solution : The correct answer is 28 inches .

The legal distance between cricket stumps and the playing surface is 28 inches, or 71.12 cm, according to MCC Laws. In the centre of the bowling crease, two sets of stumps are positioned in parallel. In the stump woods are two bails. There is a set distance of 22 yards between each stump. It's interesting to note that while the field on which the game is played varies in size from ground to ground, the pitch is always a rectangular space measuring 10 feet (3.05 metres) in width and 22 yards (20.12 metres) in length.
