Globalisation of cricket...........?

Question

What do you think can be done to make cricket popular in countries like France,Brazil etc?

Answer 1

France does actually have a cricket team, but due to its...... not goodness the game isn't very popular over there. The best way of getting cricket big in a country though would be to host a world cup in it, France could temporarily convert the football and rugby stadiums it has to cricket grounds to host the matches and Brazil could do the same as could many other countries. Either that or convince the government to make cricket a mandatory/optional sports choice in schools to get the youngsters interested.

Answer 2

The process has already started. IPL & ICL are going to have far reaching mplications in globlisation of the game.

Answer 3

Maybe should play a game of cricket in France, Brazil but to do that will need huge financial funding and I doubt if ICC would take a risk spending that huge amount of money, unless India volunteer to offer their bulk? lol. I doubt it very much.

unless soccer die down, cricket will still be little known to countries like BRAZIL or France where soccer is BIG.
