But I also think that those people who want to pursue cricket as a career and are not good enough to make it to the national team should be allowed to do so and the departments right now do just that. They should not be abolished. I think more interest should be generated in the collegiate and inter-school sports. In any case, a nice thought provoking article. Since Mr. Hussain shares the idea and is so concerned about the state of cricket in Pakistan, he should take the idea to its implementation stage.
Theory is all fine but the practical hurdle is in the implementation.
I look forward to Mr. Hussain coming up with a workable, rather than purely theoretical, blue print. Since the idea has oft been mooted but never implemented I wonder what the ground realities are.
