Q: Why does cricket redirect here, and not to cricket (insect)?
A: Wikipedia's naming conventions state that the most commonly used definition of a term earns the root article title. Cricket is a major world sport, played in many countries across the globe, often as the primary sport (see map). This has been discussed many times before (see, for example, debates from 2005 and from 2007), with consensus always favouring the existing situation.
