Cricket has become more popular than the national sports in the sub-continental countries. What do you think are the reasons behind this? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience

Cricket
, traditionally an English sport, is becoming increasingly popular in other parts of the world like Australia, South Africa, Indian Continents etc. But the popularity is evidently the highest among the countries of the Indo-Pak
sub-continent
, for reasons that are historical, anthropological, geographical, and even commercial. There are more than 200
crore

audiences of
cricket
only in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Srilanka and they are certainly the highest part of
cricket
fans than another part of the world. The game of

more psychologically ethnic than the native sports of

region. Mother Nature had her hand in it too.
Cricket
is compared with religion in the country like India. Even when the war and conflicts hot the air of India and Pakistan, the stadium tied the friendship these two countries. Some opine that South-Asians are natural cricketers. It has indeed been proven that the
sub-continent
players are more adaptive to the physiological demands of
Cricket
compared to how they get naturalised to other international sports e.g. Football, Basketball etc.
Also
, the climatic conditions here are relatively more suitable for playing
cricket
compared to the climates of many other parts of the globe. Not to forget, the virtually uncountable population of

region that continually fuels the ever-sprouting 11-member teams needed to stage only half of a

also
the nativity.
