Michael Holding the legendary is a guest at the Times of New Sports Podcasts India ‘Sportscast’ recently and discussed various topics.
One of the things discussed is whether the definition of passion for sports has changed for years for sports people.
With most sports becomes increasingly commercialized and money flows, there are many motivators for young people today to pursue sports compared to the previous generation.
But having a basic definition of passion for sports changes? Holding doesn’t think so.
“I don’t think it’s not necessary.
I don’t think it’s of course, I think individuals will vary of course.
But because you are now making millions on the game, that doesn’t mean you are not excited about the game.
And the more passion you can show for the game, clearly , the better you are, and the longer your career must take place, “Solding on Toi Sportscast.
However, which is 67 years old, which is widely regarded as one of the best fast bowlers to play the game, also feel that sometimes the commitment shown in national tasks is questionable.
“What people ask is whether people show the same commitment to their country, that’s what people asked.
Is this a commitment to your country? Or just a commitment to make a living? And it is a question that a lot of Cricketers and many sportsmen difficulties answer,” Hold further at TOI SPORTSCAST.MR.
Holding was also asked about what he felt about the future of the club’s sport.

One of the criticisms that have been said to many cricket in the past recently is that many of them have chosen to be ‘T20 freelancers’ and play cricket in the T20 league worldwide and in some cases turned on national duties.
Holding talking very honestly on the subject.
“Well, what you have to understand is that the penrajin playing cricket to make a living, it is their profession, they will try to try and maximize their income.
Cricketers from poor countries, most of them will think for themselves – ‘Where can I get a T20 contract?’ Because that’s where the money is.
Cricketers from richer countries, they still want to play in this tournament, but they don’t have to be because of your country – Australia, India, England, their cricket Get a great financial return on their country and play cricket trial matches.
British contracts such as a million pounds, Australian contracts millions of dollars.
So too, they will think for themselves – ‘Yes, I generate enough money with my contract and start dedicating Many of my efforts towards my country ‘.
While those who don’t, like Western Indians, – who will reject $ 60 0,000 for six weeks when your country pays 150,000 for a full year? It’s hard to ask to tell someone to turn it off.
So, you must see the whole concept of what is happening in each Cricketer, because this is his life.
This is how the life is.
His career was not durable.
