It came about through a combination of two games: poona, and battledore and shuttlecocks. For poona, an indian game, a parchment ball is batted over a net with rackets. It was learned by british army officers stationed in. India, and subsequently brought back to england by them. Battledore and shuttlecock has been played in europe and the orient for at least 2000 years.
