06 June 2016 Point vii) in Schedule VII refers to "Training to promote rural sports, nationally recognized sports, paraolympic sports and olaympic sports". Cricket may be nationally recognized sports as it does not fall under any other category mentioned. However, the sports does not need any kind of promotion. Thus it will not be considered as CSR activity.

06 June 2016 Refer to "List of recognized National Sports Federation for 2015". Cricket is not included in the list. Thus it is not nationally recognized sports. You can also check the list for 2016. Cricket is not included in the list
