The 16th Asian games are happening in Guangzhou, China and cricket has been included in this event for the 1st time showing China's interest in cricket. In China cricket was only played by foreigners however now the local people have started to play it to make it live.
Cricket is fairly now in China, in fact it was introduced only 5 years ago and has gained popularity since then. Bill, a Chinese cricket player says he likes cricket because it has team work involved. When asked about the obstacles he has to face in order to learn cricket, he said that if one has interest in playing than he can overcame all the obstacles.
China cricket association have put forward an aim for themselves which looks rather hard. That is to gain test status in or before the year 2020. However Bill thinks that in 2020 China will not only have gained test status but will also have started to win matches.
