description Although cricket has origins in the British Empire, it is followed as a religion in South Asia, probably due to the influence of the former during their rule.

It marks the epitome of reverence and is considered a battle for self-esteem, not only for those playing, but for those watching as well. The intensity of emotional attachment with this sport renders certain public health benefits as well as drawbacks to the general masses.
