Class is using Angular features but is not decorated. Please add an explicit Angular decorator

I have some components like CricketComponent, FootballComponent, TennisComponent etc. All These Classes have some common properties :- TeamName, teamSize, players etc which are @Input().

Now I created a BaseComponent class, defined all these properties in there and this baseComponent class will be extended by cricket/football/tennis/etcComponents.

baseComponent.ts

export class BaseComponent {

    @Input() TeamName: string;
    @Input() teamSize: number;
    @Input() players: any;

}

CricketComponent.ts

@Component({
  selector: 'app-cricket',
  templateUrl: './cricket.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./cricket.component.scss']
})
export class cricketComponent extends BaseComponent implements OnInit {

  constructor() {
    super();
  }

  ngOnInit(): void {
  }

}

I am getting this error:

ERROR in src/app/base-screen.ts:4:14 - error NG2007:

You'll need to add a @Component decorator to that base class (which should probably also be declared abstract).

This is the bare minimum you can get away with in Angular 9:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  template: ''
})
export abstract class BaseComponent {

    @Input() teamName: string;
    @Input() teamSize: number;
    @Input() players: any;
}

For Angular 10+, see this answer.
