Cricket in Commonwealth Games, Olympics?
Chandigarh, April 4 The Indian sports delegation in Melbourne up to April 9 might take up the case of cricket and being a host, India could always add few disciplines than stipulated. Apart from regular disciplines, India has to host lawn bowls, netbal and Rugby. Sources said Tennis,Judo and Rowing were the sport for which Indian delegation will favour for its inclusion since in all the above disciplines Indians could fetch medals. If we look at the cricket playing nations, most of them were Commonwealth nations however do play cricket like England, Australia, New Zealand, India, Pakistan, Kenya, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh among others. The major sporting countries the USA, China, Germany have not yet entered the cricketing world and so far refrained from taking part. There has been general demand from people and cricket fans to include it in the Asian, Commonwealth and Olympics, but most of them say cricket is now a days big sporting business and no longer continues to be a sport. Only a few months back the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) which had earlier decided to include cricket in 2006 Asian games finally dropped stating that International Cricket Council (ICC) was not serious to get it included. Mandeep Sood, a sport lover, says, “Cricket is played in a limited number of countries and it has become show business and also lost the real value of sport. He said cricketers today enjoy big money and it has also affected the growth of other sport. He was of the view that though India is going to host the 2010 Commonwealth games and there would be pressure from Cricket fraternity to get it included, but considering the fact that ICC would not allow its key players to take part, then what is the point to include it in these games.” Kanwalpreet Singh, an entreprenuer said Cricket wastes precious time to every individual and no doubt cricketer administrators have marketed it very well, but what right it has to peep into other sport. He said the new sporting achievements by Narain Karthikeyan and Sania Mirza has given fillip to other Indian sport , as till today cricket is already getting more than what it deserves and achievements in other sport must also be highlighted. Sanjeev Kumar, an agriculturist and cricket fan, said cricket suits the Indian culture being slow and sluggish. He said but if we include in the above games, then we might add one more medal to our tally. He said but each partcipating country must represent its best team and where country’s interest should be vital than of any individual. |
