    The wicket consists of three wooden stumps placed in a straight line and surmounted by two wooden crosspieces called bails;

    The total height of the wicket including bails is 28.5 inches (720 mm) and the combined width of the three stumps is 9 inches (230 mm).

    The stumps are placed in line on the bowling creases and so these must be 22 yards (20 m) apart. A bowling crease is 8 feet 8 inches (2.64 m) long with the middle stump placed dead center.

    According to the rule of cricket there are two sets of stems which are placed on a cricket pitch. Each set of wickets consists of three stumps they are named as middle stump, off stump, leg stump. On top of the stumps you have to place two bail sticks. These stumps and bails are generally made up of willow. According to the rules and regulations of cricket the height of the stumps must be of 28 inches or 71.12 cms. The total distance between the off stump and leg stump should be 9 inches or 22.86 cms and between each stump is 3 inches.

    But if you are asking between the wickets where batsman stands and a wickets where umpire stands is 22 Yards.

A bowling crease is 8 feet 8 inches (2.64 m) long with the middle stump placed dead center. The popping crease has the same length, is parallel to the bowling crease and is 4 feet (1.2 m) in front of the wicket. The return creases are perpendicular to the other two; they are adjoined to the ends of the popping crease and are drawn through the ends of the bowling crease to a length of at least 8 feet (2.4 m).
