2/ No, there is too much wannabe gangsta culture in that society, for there to be any players of any quality. There aren't even many places to play and train to begin with in Inner London. You will find most cricket players come from suburban areas, where playing cricket is much easier.
Thanks for that. Yeah I know most Bengalis aren't into cricket, they're more into football. I know one Bengali who is playing for Dagenham & Redbridge, he is/was the captain of their team. I think they play in league 2. Hopefully as our national team becomes successful, maybe more people will start playing cricket as well.
