Hi friend ,
1. Cricket was a colonial game ,it took root only in countries that were once a part of the British empire. Since West Indies and India were once been a part of Britishers, cricket became popular in these countries .
2. The afro- Carribean population was discouraged to play cricket . Cricket became a game of social and racial status for the Carribean population so it became famous in Caribbean countries .
3 . In countries like South America cricket could not become popular because these countries were against the English culture.

Answer:
Cricket became popular in India and the West Indies because of its colonial background. British imperial officials used it as a symbol of racial and social superiority. They did not popularise the game for the masses. For the colonised, playing cricket implied being the racial equals of the British. Success at cricket came to imply a measure of racial equality and political progress. On the other hand, the game was not so popular in countries like those of South America since they were not dominated by imperial England.
