Cricket a game or Business...???

[Branded]

Cricket is a game which has evolved over a period of time from a thorough professional game to a more entertaining and business oriented format. However influx of more money into cricket as a game is a good sign for cricket but blending it with bollywood masala is not a good move because it has resulted into cricket losing its charm. Every thing that exists in this world is a business opportunity. For example, take English Premier League, Rugby etc.. you will find the same format of buying players, building team and presenting it as a brand. This is all commercialisation of sport but then the core game factors have still remained in those games. However cricket is moving from its core factor to a mere entertaining platform wherein you can see nowadays that anyone from non cricketing fraternity comes and presents views on game of cricket. To me cricket as a game and entertainment should grow.

The funny thing is that each country seems to have its own "business" game or leasure activity! Sailing, golf, skiing... you can make some deals only when you meet them in the certain clubs

are all domestic players getting the benefit of money?

If we think critically, its the audience who took a game "cricket" as national pride for themselves, & forgot about other games, & that gave rise to business in cricket.

i agree.... other sports need equal weightage else they will never get the desired credit.......
