The main difference between cricket and football is time duration
. Almost all European countries participate in football while only few interested in cricket. People are getting busy with their lifestyle. With modernization all things getting sophisticated and specified. So many new things and doings mixes with our daily life. Interests, hobbies or entertainments are getting modified with the duration of time.
England was the parental country of cricket. Already 150 years it crossed but cricket is not that much popular as the football is? The 1st match played in 1844 and the 1st test cricket began in 1877. But up to 2000 there were only few countries interested in cricket. The reason was the long time duration. In the beginning days there was 5 days boring cricket and then 50 50 cricket which takes about 10 hours including the results. Realizing the limited popularity of cricket in 2003 the parental country tried to design a new format of cricket in which the duration deducted to 20 overs for each team. This has been denoted as 20-20 cricket formally known as T20 cricket.
Within few years it started showing its increasing popularity worldwide. Afghanistan and Ireland are the result of that only. Apparently with the popularity the new format of cricket starts showing its benefit to the cricket world. The total time required to finish a T20 game is approximately 200 minutes which brings cricket equivalent to football. It changed the mentality of cricket playing persons. The aggression and affection starts increase to the new format of cricket. It increases the public support as financial point of view. With the public demand endorsements enhanced their financial ration in cricket compare to other fields. Most importantly is the commercialization, the market value has starts increasing with days passing by.
I would say, the world cup by senior team and the under 19 team is the result of this new format only. Competitions among the cricket playing persons making our team heavier day by day. Yuvraj Singh, Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina get replaced by new comers. It is a good thing.
