Cricket Development a need of our Country

Nepal a real paradise, a god gifted nation with full of natural heritage, cultural heritage and rich in its   religions, cultures and traditions, the land of Gautam Buddha and roof of the world Sagarmatha is a living heaven and center of tourism.  Many sports are played in the country and popular among them are Cricket and Football. 
 

Cricket one the popular sport in the country and a sport which is supported by millions of people all around the nation. If any international cricket game played in the country, thousands of fans are there in the ground and if Nepal is playing we can’t imagine the crowd and atmosphere in the ground, it’s simply unbelievable. The craziness is not limited to ground, thousands of fans are updating the game through internet and many web portal when they are not able to observe the game live in the ground. Thousands of youngsters are attracted to the sport although there is not a standard career in it. 

Our country still have chance to qualify for 2014 Twenty20 World Cup in Bangladesh and 2015 ODI World Cup in Australia. Equation for Nepal to qualify for Twenty20 World Cup in Bangladesh 2014 is very simple as first they have to finish top four at  ACC Twenty20 Cup which will be held in our own country and qualify for Twenty20 World Cup Qualifier in UAE and finish in top six in this tournament to qualify for Twenty20 World Cup in Bangladesh. Road to T20 world cup is difficult but not impossible. And for 2015 World Cup, first Nepal has to finish in top two in Division 3 leagues and qualify for the World Cup qualifier in UAE and finish in top two there to qualify for ODI World Cup 2015 in Australia and finish in top four to get temporary ODI status. If our players get continuous exposes, the dream of World Cup can be a reality.  

Being a fan and seeing the achievement and performance of our team in few recent years and the facilities they are getting is humiliation of their achievement and their performance. My question is “Can’t government provide facilities and salaries to the player as a government employee”, aren’t they serving the nation…. Then why can’t government serve player as higher level government officer and provide the salary and other facilities..? If government provide proper facilities to the cricket player then surely people see career in it and cricket will certainly develop as well as it aid to solve unemployment problems. Parents will freely let their children to play and involve in cricket if there is career in it and it will surely benefit cricket. 

A international cricket stadium is a most in our country, as few international cricket stadium, couple of international matches will certainly increases the flow of tourist in our country which will flourish the  tourism industry, increase government revenue aid a lot in country development  solving unemployment problem directly, increasing per capital income and improving living standard of people.

Development of cricket, a few international standard cricket stadiums and proper facilities for cricket player is a need of our country at present, so I kindly request respective bodies to think about it and prepare plan and implement them with ease.  The   Government and political parties must think about it as it benefit them as well, as cricket supporter are in great number in our country and the government and political party will surely benefited by attracting  the votes and support  of all cricket fans  if they work on the proposal of cricket development. So I request and wish government and political parties will certainly work about the plan of cricket stadium, and providing proper facilities and respect to the cricketer. It’s not the request of mine but the request of millions of cricket fan all across the nation; let’s hope within few years there will be few international cricketing stadium and career in cricket for all cricket player. Jay Nepali Cricket.
