Squash originated in the mid-19th century as a derivative of the older sport called rackets. Students at Harrow School who could not access the rackets court began hitting a small rubber ball that deformed on impact, and the new game was called 'squash racquets' (later shortened to 'squash') to distinguish it from rackets. The name 'rackets' refers to the older sport from which squash evolved. Therefore, the old name of squash is accurately 'Rackets'. Other options like 'Binfel', 'Steel hit', and 'Green Ball' are not historically recognized names for squash.

The claim that Allen Hill hit the first six in cricket history in 1898 is incorrect. Historical records show that sixes were hit well before 1898. The first cricketer to hit six consecutive sixes in a single over was Sir Garfield Sobers in 1968, but sixes as scoring shots existed long before that. The question asks about the first six ever hit in cricket history, which is not attributed to Allen Hill or the year 1898. However, none of the options provided (Allen Hill, Joe Darling, Gubby Allen, Edward Mathew) are documented as the first to hit a six in cricket history. Since the question is about the first six ever hit, and no definitive individual is recorded for this early cricket milestone, the question is factually inaccurate as posed. Therefore, the best correction is to clarify that the first six in cricket history is not attributed to Allen Hill in 1898, and the question should be rephrased or removed. Alternatively, if the question intends to ask about the first six sixes in an over, the correct answer is Sir Garfield Sobers in 1968, but he is not among the options. Given the options, the question is factually incorrect and cannot be answered accurately with the given choices.
