As we know that the lords of
England invented the game of cricket. It is a beautiful game of gentlemen. More
and more countries are including themselves in it. We can have a comparative
look at the number of countries in the last world cup and the second and third
last world cups. This game is gaining popularity by leaps and bounds. It is
liked, rather loved by every walk of life. They may be an old man, teenager or a
small boy. The boys who are so small that their heights are lesser than the bat.
No game is so popular in this “tiny world”. Even USA is showing its inclination
in this game.
But on the other hand, we see that the dirt of gambling has affected its
brightness, In the past, the names of Hensy Crowne, Asif Iqbal, Azharuddin,
Jadega and Saleem Malik etc were heard on this issue. We can’t conclude how far
they were involved. The high-leveled gamblers play a vital role in the
‘decision’ of any international match. Thus they also play with the emotions of
the viewers. They don’t bother for the common viewer of the game. Their
intention is only to get more and more money in no time. Sad to say, even the
players of any particular cricket playing country; don’t care for the sentiments
of their own country’s people. And for this the government concerned has to take
certain steps to prevent them from this evil.
