5 reasons why Women's Cricket is still unpopular in India

#2 India’s ‘no-to-sports’ culture

Often considered just as time-pass, sports is often confined to makeshift grounds in India

India has never been a sports-oriented country, to begin with parents laying their focus mostly on getting the best education. Sports is seen as a mere timepass in many households with the youth even subjected to ridicule for failing in exams no matter how well they might have done on the sports field.

Even in this case, the boys get a leeway having a number of age-level tournaments to develop their skills while their female counterparts fail to get proper game time even in their own schools. The regressive mindset which has been prevalent from ancient times exists even to this day, with sports often considered only for men.
