Debutant filmmaker Mitali Ghoshal, who is set to release her film 22 Yards based on the business
of cricket, says that representing own country globally is the driving force for every budding cricketer. Short formats in cricket such as the Indian Premier League (IPL) have offered young cricketers more opportunities than before. Asked if becoming a cricketer and achieving celebrity status is easier than earlier, Ghoshal told IANS here: “I think every budding cricketer wants to play international cricket and wants to represent their country to the world. That is their constant drive.” “But only 11 players can do that out of a thousand budding cricketers. So the rest of the formats – T20, One Day matches give them the chance to play. But the ultimate goal is to play international test cricket.” (IANS)
