Cricket, regardless of whether you are referring to the sport or the insect, is a common and not a proper noun. Proper nouns refer to unique entities (objects, people, places, things, ideas, et cetera) that are normally capitalized and cannot be preceded by an article. Since neither the sport nor the insect fits this definition, cricket is a common noun.
