Abstract
- The article discusses the impact of climate change on the game of cricket, particularly in New Zealand. It highlights the challenges faced by players and spectators due to increased temperatures, heat waves, and air pollution. The vulnerability of cricket-playing regions, such as Bangladesh and Pakistan, to climate risks is also mentioned. The article emphasizes that cricket is not only a victim but also a contributor to the climate crisis, citing its resource-heavy nature and substantial carbon footprint. It criticizes the slow sustainability efforts of cricket governing bodies compared to other sports and calls for action to address the climate crisis. [Extracted from the article]
