Expanding Cricket: Can We Follow Soccer Model?

By Adrian Meredith


VICTORIA, Australia (TheSportsNext) August 2, 2012: Not too long ago, Soccer was known as a niche sport. As at the 1980s, soccer was really only seriously played in Western Europe and South America. The same countries competed for top spot all of the time: Brazil and Argentina from South America versus Germany and England from Europe. Occasionally Uruguay from South America won it while France from Europe was also known to win it. But that was it. Everyone else didn't take it particularly seriously. It was played to some extent in other countries but never with the same degree of seriousness.
