A not very common sport in Peru
G: Hello! Have you already made the list of uncommon sports in Peru?

L: Yes, here it is. We have polo, hockey, fencing, super bowl and I would also add badminton

and cricket.

G: Oh, badminton and cricket! They are interesting sports. Do you know where these sports

are played?

L: Sure, badminton is played on a rectangular court divided by a red one similar to tennis, and

it can be played both indoors and outdoors. Cricket, on the other hand, is played on a large

grass field, known as a "pitch", with a batting area and a bowling area.

G: Do you know when people started playing badminton?

L: Badminton has its roots in ancient games, but the modern form of the sport developed in

India in the late 19th century. It quickly caught on in England and became an internationally

competitive sport.

G: And as for cricket, do you have any idea when it started being played?

L: The cricket has a long history, believed to have originated in England in the 16th century. It

became a popular sport in Commonwealth countries, especially India, Pakistan, Australia, and

the United Kingdom.

G: Do you know how many players participate in these sports?

L: In badminton, it is normally played in singles (1 player per team) or doubles (2 players per

team) mode. In cricket, each team has 11 players on the field.

G: And how do you get points in these sports?

L: In badminton, players got points by making the shuttlecock touch the ground on the

opponent's side, and points can also be earned if the opponent fouls. In cricket, points are
awarded by scoring runs, which are achieved by running between the ends of the pitch, or by

hitting the ball out of bounds.

G: Why do you think these sports are not very common in Peru?

L: Well, I think several factors can play a role. In the case of badminton, it is possible that there

has not been enough promotion and development of this sport in the country. Also, the

infrastructure needed to play badminton, such as proper courts, may not be widely available.

As for cricket, it is a sport more rooted in British and Indian cultures, so its popularity cannot

be as widespread in Peru.

G: Yeah, that makes sense. Perhaps in the future, these sports may gain more popularity in

Peru as more opportunities to practice them are promoted and developed.

L: Definitely! It would be exciting to see how interest in these sports grows and how the

communities dedicated to them in Peru are strengthened.

G: Well, it's been an interesting conversation about unusual sports. Thank you for sharing your

ideas.

L: You're welcome! I'm glad I can talk to you about these sports. If you have any other

questions or topics to discuss in the future, feel free to let me know.

G: Sure, I'll keep that in mind. Have a good day!

L: Same. Have a great day and I hope you enjoy your sports activities! See you later!

G: See you later!
