I agree that cricket spread to the countries where British had colonial rule. Cricket is popular in all countries where British were rules. But labeling the game as a colonial game will be injustice to the game.

Cricket is far from being a colonial sport. I think that now cricket has become an international sport. Cricket has now become so popular that now it would not be fair to say that it is a colonial sport in the absolute sense. Now many nations are open to accepting cricket as a sport. However, the popularity of cricket might decline in my country due to poor performance of our national team.
