India, Australia, and the West Indies had a long history of British colonial rule and exposure to cricket, other nations in Africa, like Nigeria, Ghana, Malawi, and Zambia, had different colonial influences or were not as heavily influenced by British culture. The development and popularization of cricket require adequate infrastructure, facilities, and resources. In some countries, the lack of proper cricket grounds, training facilities, coaching programs, and funding for the sport can hinder its growth.In those countries, other sports have gained a strong foothold and established themselves as the primary focus of sporting interest. For example, in Nigeria,football is the most popular sport and has a massive following. The presence of other highly popular sports can divert attention and resources away from cricket.Also the visibility and media coverage of cricket play a significant role in generating interest and excitement among the masses.
