international competitions but in shanghai the women's team are out to change the reputation of chinese cricket with a modicum of success so far oh no people say to me you play cricket oh that's the one india and pakistan are really good at what i tell them about its origins and how it's developing really well now and invite them to come and watch i invite people to let them see it directly it makes things easier when i want to go in. with the nearest grass cricket ground 1500 kilometers away shanghai's team are forced to play their games on an artificial football pitch the international cricket council estimates that 80000 people play the sport in china half of whom are women and has made growing the game here a priority considering china's population of 1400000000 the current numbers are still meager but there's plenty of potential for expansion and plenty of hope that

the game will continue to grow sean paul is a cricket expert and author has written 2 books on cricket he joins me now from beijing where he lives and works strong glad to have you on how popular is cricket in china. before i talk about for good in china i would like to tell you that one of the most popular cricketing told me that surely china man kind of bowling so cricket and china are correlated for a long time and cricket was played for the 1st time on chinese soil way back in 858 when in shanghai a team of officers from the dr dean dr h.m.s. highflyer a ship from the u.k. that landed there the top gear and there was a high level so cricket has a long history but 150 years later the gentleman scheme still stands where it all began so quick it hasn't got its launchpad yet. though i mean it's being played

for adjectives but. for a long time cricket is still trying to rule us tickets in a culture in china because other sports especially the olympic sports have kind of a predominantly no no popular in china and where it has taken oh that's it for the time being you're you're you're safe they can a back seat but from the as you sort out of port of the roughly 80000 people who are playing the sport in china of them about half are women why is it so popular amongst women. yes as you mentioned defeat your 80000 people are really getting china at this at this point of time but i must tell you most of them have been playing it. very amateur with professional who are getting still not existing to china but yes since september 2005. 100

to several she began some period training courses. from beijing gone through and it's been bleeding in 9 cities across china but primarily our cricket is clean in china by various school students and university students it's question i must tell you a board that is one of the diversity and shane young young province in china which has a curry good luck on brigade and primarily the chinese women split is there comprised of students from shenyang meeting was to you what if any to develop the game in china. the plan has been in police for quite some time like today in cricket council when it was founded under the laws you would shoot off india's legendary cricket i'm going to stricter a little dolly are so that time had tried to invest it in china

but since then we have seen little progress as far as disconcerting here it for example in china at this moment the most popular sports and games there are of course a little bit because china's focus is primarily on the olympic sports so limp explodes it always be in bitters from various quarters support from the government support from the east it does but also busk it paulista most popular 40 china so useful or spark it ball and football soccer as you've got to call it so these have been dominating the chinese school scene right and here's hoping that cricket gets a leg up so a drone pilot program expert and author of thank you very much for joining us our southeast asia is known for its rich and diverse food culture which can use let's say some unconventional ingredients field rats might be everybody's idea of
