After spending happy days in the office, I look forward to engaging in some activities. Among these activities, playing cricket is one of them. It refreshes my mind and gives me much pleasure. Basically, I play cricket in the evening because my office work ends almost at the end of the day. Then I come back home, take a shower, and get some snacks, as I have my lunch in the office. So, I don't need to have dinner in the evening. After that, I go to the playground, which is not far from my home, and play with my friends. Some of my friends are usually waiting for me until they come from the office. Some of my friends are very skilled in that field, so I always tell them that I should mention their names. One of my friends is a very good player; I should mention his name. He is a batsman and a wicketkeeper. Another one is also a wicketkeeper. I always tell them that they are very good at playing cricket. When I play cricket, I feel invigorated because it helps release my anger and soothes my mind, relaxing me from the hectic pressure. So, cricket is my favorite activity.
