It's just called "Play". The Umpire calls "play" at the start of the day's play & at any resumption. See attached past question.

Firstly WOT is certainly not a word used appropriately with the great sport of cricket. Does one mean What???, then spell it correctly.
Secondly I believe the start of a cricket match is announced by the umpires saying PLAY.
Start, Play,......as long as the game begins that's all what matters.
Football & golf are so uninteresting - just follow cricket eh.

The umpires walk onto the field before the "start of the first innings".
The first two batsmen are called "openers" because they "open" (or start) the first innings.
There is no specific term used (as in golf) for the start of the match. The closest to the golf example will be a batsman "opening the innings".
The link is an example from a press article.

The cricket match start with Toss. Before start of play a coin is tossed to determine which team bats first..

Good question! I don't know. The umpire stands with his arm extended to the side to stop the bowler bowling the first ball until ( I think) he says "play".
But I know they call the end of the day's play "stumps" - they say that "stumps have been drawn".

Play Gentlemen! says a good and civilized umpire while ordinary umpires just say "play" and match gets under way.

'Start of play' or match commenced. "Play" is the order given by the umpire to start or restart the bowling
