The administrators of cricket must decide once and for all if they are interested in the development and promotion of the sport or if they wish to become politicians. One should be realistic enough to know that politics impacts every aspect of our professional and social lives. Yet one must also be cognizant of the fact that politics and insularity are catalysts for problems rather than solutions.
Cricket is an ever-changing phenomenon that evolves.
If the administrators of the game continues to view cricket as just a game , then we will never rise from stagnation and mediocrity. Only you can decide if you are satisfied with recreational cricket, or if you wish to play the sport at a higher level. Be proactive rather than reactive, administrators will respond if they are proponents of the sport rather than their own self-interest. They literally work hard year round to keep the game going. There is however a difference between working hard and working smart.
