2 Who else plays the game you are talking about? Do you play it too?

I am talking about football. It is played by children of all ages in our area. I sometimes play cricket with them in the afternoon. Playing cricket is one of my favorite games. I have been playing cricket for almost 20 years.

^{Today there was a lot of sun in the field so we were taking breaks every now and then}

3 How is the playing field? Is it an ideal place? Is the playing facility government or private?

We play sports in the government college field. This field is a very large field. Both football and cricket can be played here. This field is an ideal place to play football/cricket. This field is approved by the government. Bats/balls are provided by the government. The field is maintained by the government.

4 What equipment do they use? How is their condition? How much does each piece of equipment cost?

We use many types of equipment to play cricket. Usually we play cricket with tape tennis balls. But sometimes we play with the ball used in international cricket games. The equipment we use is very good and durable. We get this equipment from the government. So these equipment are very strong. The names and prices of the equipment used in each game are given below:

5 How does this sport help in the development of players or participants?

Sports help in our mental development. We need to play sports for one to two hours daily. If we play sports for 12 hours in addition to studying all day, the body stays fresh. The body gets tired when we play sports. When the body is tired, we sleep better at night. When we sleep better at night, our body stays fresh. Most of us who play cricket are students. We can learn a lot through sports. From childhood, we know that playing sports will benefit us. So even after growing up, we can keep up with this sport.

6 What environmental impact does this game have on the surrounding area?

We see that the boys from our neighboring area also play sports. They sometimes come to play with us. Since we play in the government college ground. So the boys from the neighboring area also come to play with us. Every Friday, the boys from the two areas play cricket together. The boys from our Saidpur area like to play cricket more. We also play football. But most of the time we are busy playing cricket. Since we are busy with sports, most of us boys have been able to refrain from bad things. We play sports in our free time. There are many boys in the city who use their free time for bad things. We and the boys in our surrounding area do not use their free time for bad things. They are busy with sports. Due to this, our next generation boys are also playing sports in front of us. They are not getting involved in bad things.

Today I went to the field to play in the morning. Football was being played on one side of the field. Cricket was being played on the other side. I like playing cricket more. So I played cricket. While playing cricket, I took many pictures of our game. We were playing in two teams of 22 players. I took the pictures while I was fielding. I took more than a minute of video and several pictures.
