We haven't really "done it" in cricket yet and cricket is a much smaller sport globally because more countries play soccer and they play seriously.
The Japanese, Koreans and Chinese can each surpass us in cricket within a couple of decade sif they put their minds and resources into cricket they way they did into soccer about 20 years ago. The cohesive programs also included things like drinking more milk to become taller. They can successfully execute such plans because they're not lazy procrastinators like us, and united in their love of country and culture.

Great post
This is why not only we struggle in soccer but so do all the subcontinental countries. East Asian countries thrive in sports because their facilities and training regimen is far more advanced. Their athletes are basically machines and are pretty close to European standards. This is why you see them doing better than the West Asian countries despite being smaller in build.
The problem is we are neither physically well built nor quick enough. You need some type of advantage over oppositions but we really don't. This is a good start for us to qualify for the AFC finals but a lot more needs to be done in order for us to ever even dream of qualifying for the World Cup.
