Off the beaten track: World cup cricket

It was nice to watch India winning the world cup after 28 years.  We have had internationally acclaimed sports persons in games such as lawn tennis, chess and athletics. It will be nice if the abovmentioned games as well as games such as hockey, football, long jump and table tennis are also given importance, besides cricket.  Many of these games are very cost effective and can easily be promoted in our schools and colleges.
