But thanks to it's aggressive promotion, Cricket is increasingly gaining acceptance. Football was Bengal's staple diet, but, of lack, lack of planning has robbed off the game of much of it's sheen. Hence, cricket is taking it's place. The economic scenario of Bangladesh is not at all good. But inspite of that youngsters are taking to the game in hordes.
Cricket is definitely a costly game in comparison to it's counterparts.
Playing Cricket require more than just mental power. One has to get nutritious food to keep himself fit enough to play international matches. It is difficult for the players to afford the diet. But dedication and fierce patriotism are the diet they are fed on and they are progressing with optimism. The Government is doing it's bit by encouraging the promotion of the game in every possible way.
