Greetings!

Steemian Buddies! I hope you all are good and living a healthy life. I am Awais Rasool from Pakistan. I am very pleased to write in this community and I am also very eager to show my sportier side. I hope you will enjoy it. Due to my involvement in sports to such an extent in my childhood, my attention to academic activities became less, so I used to get a lot of scolding from my father, but sometimes with his permission and sometimes secretly, I continued this game.

Sports!

---

Only good health can make the difference between miserable and enjoyable living, that's why it is said that health is a thousand blessings, exercise is the guarantee of health and the most favorite form of exercise is sports. It is a hobby that one can easily incorporate into one's habits. Some people naturally have such habits that they indulge in sports and some people get involved in such activities because of their surroundings. Many sports are played in my area but cricket is considered to be the most important and also the most popular.

Tape Ball Cricket My Sportier Side!

I got my cricket-playing habits at home from my elder brother. When I was young, my elder brother used to stay at the cricket grounds all day, so I used to accompany him, that's why I started playing cricket. Passionate to the point of obsession. A type of cricket is "Tape Ball Cricket" the most popular in our area because there are not many facilities available here in terms of the leather ball(International Standards) due to which people give more importance Tap Ball in our area. In this type of cricket, the Ball is not used like in international, Tennis Ball is used in the match by making a round of Tape on the tennis ball itself. It has very limited overs which does not allow us to get away from it.

Tournaments are organized!

---

Most of the friends with whom I used to play this game in my childhood are no longer able to play due to personal commitments. Due to my job, I also have less time to play this game, but my elder brother organizes tournaments for this game in our area. So by participating in these tournaments as a player, I stay connected to the game to some extent. In such type of cricket organized tournaments in which the young players of our area participate and at the end of the tournament, they are also given prize money to encourage them.

My Sportier Side Helps me in Professional life!

_{Running for single}

From my childhood, I was interested in serving in the armed forces and to get a job in the armed forces one has to be very physically fit and agile. Due to regularity and good skill in this sport, I got many benefits physically. To get this job, a 2-mile continuous run followed by exercises like push-ups, chin-ups, and pull-ups were tested. After getting the job, my fitness developed due to the same sport supporting me even in the most rigorous physical training.

_{Ball again Goes for an huge six}

Some part of a person's life must be connected to sports and I am very satisfied with that part of my life. I have also earned a lot of respect in my area through this sport. Several times I have been invited to play as a guest player in other regions as I have often been one of the top performers in the tournament.

I am also going to invite my three friends @numanfarooq @numanbhutta and @adnanyasin for this amazing engagement challenge.
