Cricket and beyond

February 05, 2018 12:13 am | Updated 12:13 am IST

Recently, India’s U-19 Cricket Team played spectacularly against Pakistan, defeating its rival by an emphatic 203 runs in the semi-final; one can also think of Pakistan’s victory over India in the Champions Trophy 2017. But it is sad that instead of considering cricket to be cricket, both India and Pakistan regard it to be war. The derogatory language on social media used before or after a cricket match is an example of it spilling off the field. We should learn from the Ashes, which England and Australia have played in peace.
