Cricket serves as best way to burn off carbs for office-goers

Majority of the work force in offices is young and energetic. However, the nature of their work keeps them glued to their chair almost throughout the day, depriving them of any physical exercise and therefore making them put on weight. Their energy also
begins to get utilised in wrong directions, such as fighting with their colleagues or feeling impatient and anxious all the time.

It is for this reason that it has become extremely important for the young men to take out time to participate in some physical activity. The best option available to them in order to remain physically active despite a hectic schedule throughout the work
week is to play cricket on weekends.

Cricket involves plenty of exertion as the bowler aims to bowl bullet-fast deliveries, while the batsman looks to hit the bowl with maximum power in order to send it sailing across the boundary. They are also forced to pick quick singles and doubles in order
to keep the scoring ticking while facing a challenging bowler.

The fielders are also expected to remain alert and active throughout the course of the game, getting to the ball in a jiffy and throwing the ball back towards the bowling or batting end to keep the batting side under pressure and making them think twice
before scampering for a single or double.

Almost all the people in the field remain involved throughout the entirety of the cricket match. Thus the main objective of giving the body some sort of stretch is achieved.

Cricket matches can easily be arranged by gathering the office colleagues and making two well-balanced teams that comprise of batsmen and bowlers of varying skill level.

The decision regarding which colleague to invite to the match and whom to drop depends solely on general consensus. Calling a rather sensitive or rude colleague to the match would only lead to a fight as tempers are flying high during the cricket matches.
The bowlers are especially bad at keeping their temper under check and therefore involved in majority of the arguments.

Sometimes, all the frustration and pent up anger is released during cricket matches.  It is this rude behaviour that often leads to a bit of strain during the match. While it is quite understandable to see the strong reaction of the bowler, the batsman needs
to act maturely and settle the matters for the sake of the game of cricket.

It would surely help the employees to rid themselves of all stresses and frustrations and give them an opportunity to relax and have fun after spending the entire week in front of their desk and adding extre fats on their body due to sitting on a chair.
Therefore, it is advisable to start asking people in your office about a cricket match on weekend right away. It is not only important for entertainment, but also serves to make an employee perform his office duties better while feeling more fresh.
