Is cricket really a business now?

Cricket is no more a sport, it's business: Afridi

Is it really so that the sport that is loved by a majority of the asians is actually not being played in the way its supposed to be?

Cricket is like a religon in india and pakistan. what repercussions can this statement have in the heartlands of these countries?

what do u think? is afridi right in saying so??

 

Yes Afridi say right, because first after 2 years T20 cup, now just after 9 months , that y

 

Yes i think it has been now every game or player tries to play for their own benefit and name sake they forget that their country and their people are after them pray for then to win and make a name but they just move to play for their more personal benefit then for the sake of their country and people. ( My personal view no hate word for any player of country related to cricket )

 

Cricket is no more game it become business by many top Indian business and Bollywood star are investment their money in cricket and taking advantage and popularity of game they are making huge money on the other hand player are also making money.so now its no more game its totally a game of money.

 

I think T/20 format of cricket is become a business,because every one want money in this field.
If they are cricketer,organizer or ICCI.

 

I believe every sport these days in a business, not that I can blame them.

 

It is business bcz now many professionals has come in this game for earn the money
they have no value of their country and game they just want to earn more as much money they can !

 

Cricket is been viewed as a money making machine in recent times, specially by BCCI and ICC....

 

Yeah especially T-20 format.

 

I am 100 percent satisfied with this title.
Cricket is the great business.

 

BCCI with the help of ICC has transformed this sport into a money making business.
If not for physical constraints of the cricketers, BCCI would have loved hosting matches on every single day!

Cricket is a business when India or Pakistan wins and it is a religion when these two loose

 

for sure cricket has become a business for last 2 years ,T20 format is specially cashed upon

 

Yes players now playing cricket for business and for money and mostly for advertisement.

 

NOwadays, it won't be wrong to say that Cricket is business .
Cricketers are seen doing anything for money and they leave their practice sessions for it.
ANd along with cricket many other sports are involved in this kind of business.
