Senior BJP leader and Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi on Friday said that cricket is not an Indian game, and kabaddi and football should be promoted.

"Cricket is not an Indian game, it came from England. Most of the countries playing cricket were once colonies of England. There is a need to promote kabaddi and football," Modi said after inaugurating the 64th National School Kabaddi Championship here.
