India is in the grip of cricket craze.All the lanes in towns and cities and open spaces in villages and towns are being used for playing cricket.We can see young boys with cricket kits going to be cricket fields or returning after playing cricket.It is cricket,cricket,all the way in India.After India's Victory over Australia,more and more youngsters in the country are taking to cricket like ducks taking to water.There is more money in Cricket.Well-known Cricket players have star value.Their celebrity status is almost at par with that of movie stars . School and College girls drool over cricketers.Cricket players are sought after for their autographs.Cricket Coaches are in demand in school and colleges. Cricketers like M.S.Dhoni are escorted by security guards.Thus the game has glamour and money.Formerly parents in India did not approve of a career in sports.But things have undergone a great change.Other games like hockey,football,volleyball and basketball have been pushed to the background.Cricket has become religion in the country.Most young men have lost interest in regular studies . The reason is growing cricket craze in the country. Some young boys make the grade in cricket but others will have to wring their hands in despair.They must not get carried away by their excessive enthusiasm for cricket.
