The country is truly addicted to the game of cricket in every nook and corner of the country and the other games have taken a back seat. The players have become celebrities and also multi-millionaires. This according to me, is a major imbalance in our sports policy which needs a relook as it has resulted in less focus on other sports. On the other hand, parents also try to coerce their children to become cricketers and not athletes or hockey or football players. It is time that government and people give more attention to our athletes who have done us proud in Asian Games. Let us all including the government give impetus to other sports and rural sports. That is where our talent and strength lies. Why should only one sport that is cricket rule the roost.
