Why Cricket?

Cricket is a loved sport in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan, however it was introduced to the people of these nations after the British Empire colonised areas of South Asia. 204 cricket bats have been laser cut and placed along the line of partition between India and Pakistan (1947), each representing the loss of (approx.) 4900 lives.
