The world cricket party begins
Cricket is a very unknown discipline in Chile, but in
countries such as India, Bangladesh, Pakistan or Sri Lanka it is one of the
most popular and lucrative sports that gather millions of people, mainly in
Asia and Oceania.
It is of English origin and dates back to the 16th century,
but the colonies of Great Britain are the ones that adopted this sport and
practice it mostly today.
The popularity of cricket makes it the second most played
sport in the world, surpassed only by football. This is because the countries
that practice it as a national sport (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal,
Bhutan, Sri Lanka and Maldives) gather about a quarter of the world's
population, reaching 1,500 million inhabitants.
