I think those from that descent are often encouraged to focus on their

Education more than sports.

I mean, descent doesn't make you good at cricket. I think the numbers in all professional sports are very low. Hardly any professional footballers for example. Ok you'd think a slightly higher number into cricket because their parents or grandparents bring them up as cricket fans but still. You see s**t loads of Indians at premier grounds like Arsenal and man Utd. But very very few seem to emerge as professional sportsmen.
