Sub Continent Rounders

India now has a baseball field:

India has constructed its first baseball field, six acres of green that will host five international trainers to improve the Indians baseball skills. The Co-founder of Grand Slam Baseball Raunag Sahni helped support the development of the field along with major league baseball and Play Global.

India, like China, could be a world powerhouse in baseball some day due to its large population. That gives the country a great talent pool. Even if baseball does not replace cricket, I suspect MLB could develop a great deal of talent from players who don’t make the cricket team. MLB also has the money to draw cricketers away from the sport, as the top Indian cricketers make about $200,000 a year.
