Only free markets have survived the test of time. We have seen many models, and in this flat world every single closed market have crashed. Others have opened up to survive and then to flourish. Some others still say, they are a closed and controlled markets, but they are free markets in their behaviour.

I believe in competition. Competition forces us to deliver our full potential. In a free market the the most competitive, always wins. Its like evolution. If you are unfit, you get eliminated. It may sound cruel, but it is the way it should be. Now you must be wondering, why am I talking about free markets.

The reason is that, in sports also the same principle needs to be applied. If cricket is gaining popularity, whats wrong with it ? If hockey is not popular and the game dies out, why do we care ? Cricket by its inherent nature is suited for advertisements and will get popular. It is not a crime, its just the “survival of the fittest”.

Hockey, football etc are not suited for advertisements. Thus they are likely to be ignored by sponsors. Evolve, change the rules, make some changes to the game. After all its just a game. Changing the rules wont kill anyone.

Nobody is responsible for other games who are not getting enough followers or enough attention. Its their nature that makes them hard to accept. Look at cricket, which is evolving at a fast pace to keep itself interesting. Test cricket, then one day cricket and now twenty twenty.

Its a free market for sports also. Evolve or you will perish. Cling to your sacred rules and you will die. Look at what market needs and give it. If cricket can evolve, so can you.
