Couldn't see any future in the Indian Children for Cricket!

Cricket which is a game of endurance and with fewer tactics involved in it is the game that does not develop any physical stamina in your children. This game has few techniques to be understood which can be found either in Spin bowling, Batting or fast bowing. Apart from that fielding is something which is all about keeping a sharp eye on ball which may be approaching you. 

Now thinking about all those cricket academies which have been a part of Indian schools do not put an emphasis on making your child strong. If anyone of us thinks about the game which could pull up the people into national heroics is football, basketball, volleyball or any other such games such as Kabbadi and kho kho which has more endurance. 

India does not have a structure where the BCCI goes for under 9 or even under 15 but on the other hand, most of the games are based on under 19 cricket players where the real age of the players is between 17 to 19 years old. Now just think that if you are sending your ward unnecessarily with all those cricket kits and lakhs of rupees on coaching some other guys who must be smart enough to learn those techniques easily by observing the cricket match on T.V. could come up for the playing XI in the time of need.

The bat which they use and the constant balls hitting with the sound will make a sort of issue in life. Remember, people like Sir Sachin Tendulkar got Tennis Elbow because he has taken the cricket to early in his childhood and instead of strengthening his hands he just made it weak. Also, if we see Rahul Dravid he also looks more or less dilapidated in his body frame and the same could be found with Sir Sourabh Ganguly. 

On the other take the case of V.V.S. Laxman or even Mohammed Azharuddin who were far fit as compared to those above-mentioned names. These people did not take too much into practice since childhood and where Sri Laxman is concerned he was more of a wristy player with bigger techniques.

Now, let us talk about the debut match of Mr. Virender Sehwag, he with his stout frame was into pehelwani rather than into cricket and suddenly emerged as a player in the Champions Trophy, 2000 and before that his test debut was in the year 2001 and ODI Debut was in the year 1999.

So, he developed his own flamboyance style of cricket and could be said the Father of Twenty-Twenty matches. So, cricket is a game which has less to learn and more to do rather than investing a bigger amount in your child thinking about his great career for future which eventually will be overshadowed by another good player and then the same answer could be sought from the coach who will speak  Kya Kare JI dusre ka ward or child acha perform kar gaya..!

So, if you are really concerned to get your son into cricket then age 15 is a good time and if you are investing since the year 5 or 8 then the money, as well as efforts, are just going in vain.
