These are the standard requirements as per the ICC standard test match and ODI playing conditions:
Playing area: minimum 140 yards from boundry to boundry square of the pitch.
Pitch should be minimum 60 yards from one boundry sqaure of the pitch.
When this minimum distance is used the pitch has to be minimum 80 yards from the opposite square boundry.
The straight boundry at both ends of the pitch shall be minimum 60 yards from the centre of the pitch.
These dimensions are for those grounds which are used for ODI or Test match after 1st July 1995. Grounds used before that date are exempt from maintaining these dimensions.

Well, the distance between the stumps is 22 yards.
In ODIs, the Inner Circle for field restrictions are two 30-yards semi-circles from each stump side, and joined by a straight line to fill up the oval.
The boundary line (or the outer circle) should be approximately 75 yards, but it varies from venue to venue. Some venues like Auckland and Singapore have short grounds, and some like Melbourne and Sydney have huge grounds. Hence, a six in Auckland could send a batsman back to the pavilion in Melbourne (with the same shot).
Moreover, the shape also varies. Some are round, some are oval straight, some are oval sideways, and some are polygonal.

The cricket field consists of a large circular or oval-shaped grassy ground. There are no fixed dimensions for the field but its diameter usually varies between 450 feet (137 m) to 500 feet (150 m). On most grounds, a rope demarcates the perimeter of the field and is known as the boundary.

Everyone has pretty much covered it. I just wanted to add, that some grounds, particularly ancient ones (some have been used for centuries) have things like trees and castle walls as part of the boundary, so provided it is a big enough piece of grass, it can be just about any shape and size! (BTW the tree is normally counted as a boundary, even if it is well inside the field)....
BTW some grounds are nearly circular, others (like Adelaide) are long and thin (miles to end boundaries, square boundaries are short). English grounds tend to be smaller than Aussie and NZ grounds...

The Cricket pitch is 22 Yards. The boundary should be minimum 75 Yards, from the pitch, i.e. radius.
