Shaheen Shah Afridi: Pakistan's tapeball talent on destroying India and marrying his hero's daughter". The playground can be anywhere from a house backyard to a beach to a relatively-uncrowded street, the courtyard of a school, the driveway of a residential building, agricultural fields or any open public spaces with shorter user defined boundaries and make shift stumps. When torn, however, the ball is usually immediately re-taped or replaced with a pre-taped ball as many times as required before the specified number of overs are completed. Towards the end of the 20th century, tape ball games were widespread even in slums and on mountains and battlefields, as the previous novelty had long become an entrenched part of Pakistan's sporting culture. With ramzan cricket alone said to be worth Rs ( PKR) 100 million, there are numerous opportunities to provide substantial monetary value to participants.

For example, the 'K2 Brother Cricket Tournament', referred to as a series of tape tennis matches, allowed for 8 players and 8 overs per side and also stipulated the use of the Japanese tape manufacturer, Netto, which was deemed to have the highest quality of available brands. Partly introduced to include individuals who were unable to access pitches and protective equipment, the tape ball innovation also countered the prodigious amounts of spin that skilled bowlers could extract when playing with tennis balls.Players who are involved in gully or box cricket matches want balls that are lighter and do not have enough mass to hurt someone or break a car or a window glass. Because they’re such a similar size, it may seem that tennis and cricket balls can be used interchangeably. Regarding skill development, tape ball tournaments have featured the paddle scoop since the 1970s and have been attributed as a key launchpad for the invention of reverse swing and the doosra, both also first conceived in Pakistan.

Since inception, tape ball cricket has drawn interest from outsiders due to how the indigenous idea spread so quickly and achieved institutionalisation within Pakistan, as well as its longevity over decades and the impact it has had on the international game.The matches use a variant of the Twenty20 Cricket rules designed to make matches last a half-hour or less. In 2015, a 15 night tournament in Karachi offered prize money of Rs 300,000 and additional rewards, such as The Man of the Tournament receiving a motorbike.

The inexpensive alternative has also been praised for its role in mitigating dangers associated with standard cricket balls, particularly head injuries in children that have previously been fatal. Concerns have been voiced about how the increased ease of starting cricket and the pull of local tournament fame wrongly persuades impressionable children to drop out of school and pursue the sport.Many neighbourhood competitions use tennis balls, which have become a nationwide necessity for all youngsters. In several municipalities of the Greater Toronto Area, such as Mississauga, cricket tournaments are a common sight during ramzan nights.
