Cricket is treated as a religion in India. It was brought by English in India. It is gentleman game. So you wouldn't not see often in cricket that players pull their t-shirt when they are celebrating like in football.
It also requires many equipment like you have to buy a bat and a ball which are necessary to play the game. A simple bat can be of rupees 1500 to 10000 and more.For ball, you have to spend a few bucks more. It can be said that it is a sport which requires expensive equipment as compared to other sports like soccer. That's why it had not gained such popularity. If you want to play professionally you have to buy a kit which includes gloves, pads,helmet and many more equipment. It also requires a larger space.
Even the sport is played by total of 22 players, only 3 players are involved actively. The Caribbean players tried to overcome the traditional way of playing cricket and bought some changes and they even won the last held T-20 World Cup.
To make cricket, a global sport many changes have to be brought. The sport should be made less time consuming. Even the smallest format that is T - 20 consumes average 4 hours which is which is very much time consuming for working generation. The longest format test consumes 5 days which is one of the longest for any sport. Due to opposition from many organisations, Cricket has not yet been entered in Olympics Small countries are not funded properly. All this hinder Cricket from being a global sport.
