Street Cricket in Pakistan

Since Pakistan came into being and Pakistan got independence from British rule on 14th August 1947, whenever you land on the soils of Pakistan you need to forget the football and few other games because this nation is crazy about the Cricket. In spite of Field Hockey which is National game of Pakistan and also many other games played in it but the most important and discussed is the cricket junoon.

It is becoming a matter of dignity and respect for the citizens. As I told you earlier few other games are also in practice but cricket is the most famous sport in this country. On the grounds, roofs and streets, it could be found anywhere. Everyone talks about the stars of Pakistan cricket team and big fan club follows their stars. Cricket matches are telecast live by the television channels.

Pakistan VS India is always a big match for the nation and everybody hopes the best for the team. On the other side of the border the situation is also same. If they win some big tournament or trophy then whole nation celebrate it. Cinema halls and hotels arrange the big screens for the telecast.

All the youth of Pakistan love this sport. Here in Pakistan two versions of cricket are played. First one and most common is the tennis ball or tape ball cricket and the 2nd one is cricket ball or hard ball. Tape or tennis ball game could be found anywhere in the streets and local grounds but the hard ball is played on the well established grounds.
