According to Nielsen Sports’ report for the International Cricket Council, there are 1.039 billion cricket enthusiasts worldwide, the majority of whom are male, live in South Asia, and are 34 years old on average. So, no doubt why PUBG mobile picks out this choice to win the hearts of the audience of Pakistan.
A mobile game or any video game sponsoring a traditional sports team is a remarkable achievement, to say the least. Overall, it’s something we can all stand behind as gamers because it will only amplify the gaming community as a whole.
