For some, cricket is a religion but many see it only as a way to stardom and money. Though it is true that there is an overkill of cricket, it has become an integral part of life considering its professionalism and popularity. It’s upto the players suffering from injuries to decide whether to participate in tournaments or opt for rest. This was the tone of the debate where the pros and cons of cricket and its overdose were discussed threadbare by students of various schools.
