Too much is spent, too much is wasted after cricket. It is a fallacy of modern judgment that cricketers and their bosses will be multimillionaires! All the games should be given equal or proportionate weight. Winning in matches is a great honour for a sportsman. They should not be given huge money in addition. After all, what Ministers decide are with the country's money. What right they have to squander them? All favouritism should be banished from s[orts field and no influence should be counted. After all, sports to not justify the major portion of human life. Isn't it ludicrous to declare 21st century cricketer when only 15 years out of 100 hasn't been passed! These stories tell upon the country's future. We should be cautioned. more

Hi, Here are a few inputs from my side - 1. Communication between sports players and the higher authorities should be increased. The communication should happen online, so that all records are maintained. All incidents of any kind of corruption or misbehavior can be recorded by the players in the form of pictures or videos and can be sent to higher authorities, anonymously. 2. We frequently see news about sports persons who were very successful in representing India at international platforms, but are very poor now. They didn't even get the well-deserved respect. Government should do something to give them the desired respect and quality living. If they don't have a bright future, youth will never will attracted towards sports as career. 3. Stop expecting from media and public to like and follow non-cricket sports. People and media will like what they want. It is government's responsibility to promote and give importance to each and every sport. Give them quality and world class infrastructure. Give them best possible training and time and then expect good results. more

Government does not need to spend peoples money for this cause. Let the private business like all other countries take care of this. more
