Would you risk your job/bonus and/or other worldly benefit for this game? would you still play if you have something important in your office which can land you in better opportunity? would you still play if you an interview call from your dream job?
Don’t answer me or anyone for that matter.. answer it to the person inside you…
The flexibility is for the people who have no other option left and Allah Subhan.o.tala says in Quran that Don’t make joke out of my orders… i am not saying that you are making it, but just think about it… Fasting of Ramadan is mandatory to all Muslims no exceptions for any silly game of cricket or football
BTW, cricket is not fast game like hockey or Football which require ur engagement for the whole period… it is rather a slow game where at a time only two players play… and more interestingly, none of the two players have a chance ( and it is neither recommended) to eat and drink while they are playing ( i am talking about batsmen and bowler).
It is entirely on ur priorities…
