All Ball sports in the world, and the ones where South Asians can shine

[Juggernaut_Flat_Plane_V8]

South Asians tend fare similiarly in sports, athletics and fighting...Though there may be regional variation...Sri Lanka is relatively better in Rugby Union (though no Rugby World Cup Place till now)...Pakistan was head and shoulders above the rest in squash ...I have made a list of ball sports (sports that involve a ball as opposed to say running, archery, surfing,shooting etc etc)..Cuz I feel ball sports are the most fun be it from a spectator's perspective or from the participant's perspective...after the main list I have made a list of ball sports that South Asians probably have the highest potential in bringing home Olympic medals (most of these sports SOuth Asians have already brought in Olympic medals)


Most modern ball sports with the excpetion of or two were invented and codified either in the British isles or settler Anglo Saxon nations like USA etc.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Of these the in the following sports SOuth Asians have the highest potential for medals given their genetic athletic ability, skeletal structure, musculature...Countries such as India should have exclusive high performance programs for these 8-10 high priority sports, investing 50 million dollars per annum in each of these sports, to maximize medals return ...same can be done by Pakistan...India has been steadily improving in Hockey..I figure by 2032 or 2036, India will again be in the medals in men's Field Hockey

Badminton
Table Tennis
Golf
Squash
Pool
Snooker
Billiards
Modern Polo------------->invented in Manipur
Cricket (T20 world cup should be dissolved and Olympics should become the defacto T20 world championship..one of IOC's demands)
Field Hockey


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other than that countries such as India, Nepal,Bhutan,Bangladesh should invest heavily in every boxing and wrestling category below the weight of 65 kilos..South Asians should dominate the lower weight category fighting classes

Boxing is the only sport I see Pakistanis coming up in particularly British Pakistanis

Also Pakistani guys in Liyari, Quetta, and parts of Jhelum have boxing talent which can be pound for pound level material

Hamzah Sheeraz right now is ranked 8th in the world and is the WBO European champion

Kash Farooq is the WBA European champion

Jawaid Khaliq was the first British Asian world champion winning the IBO world title belt

He however wasn't given funding to fight Vernon Frost

Then now you have Nadir Baloch from Liyari with the WBC middle east title

Muhammad Waseem who had the WBC silver flyweight belt

All South Asians aren't 1 race

I believe the Baloch, Hazaras, Makranis, Jhelum and Mirpuris are the best boxers of Pakistan. However they're getting sponsorships in America nowadays

The big money and title fights are in America

The great thing about boxing is you don't need government help

You just need an outside sponsor to sponsor your fights

You can make millions of dollars

For other sports, you need government help.
