The money being put into cricket is harming the development of other sports. (SCMHRD)

For:
* Getting sponsored to other sports is difficult, and the players could not have the latest equipment (sport gears).
* Cannot not compete with other countries
Against:
* Department of sports or the Sports ministry has a fixed budget and has to allocate the same to productive use. If the demands from cricket are high the dept. has no other option but to fund them.
* The number of aspiring cricketers speaks for itself how popular a game it is in the nation.
* A lot of funding also comes from sponsors who will fund the game that gives them maximum publicity and in India cricket is no doubt the game.
