what are the differences between amateurs and professionals in cricket ?

Professionals get paid for playing their sport and for them it is their full-time job

Amateurs don't get paid for playing, they do it when they are not working and because they enjoy it

Money is the basic difference between professionals and amateurs.

The history of professional and amateur sports people comes down to class. Usually professional athletes were from the lower classes because they competed for money, often bets! Amateurs tended to be those who didn't need the money and could afford to play just for fun.

 thnx !!!

amateures are the rich people who play for pleasure

proffesionals are the players who play for their livlihood

 Professionals did get payed.

Professional Sports are mainly broadcasted all over the world where as amateur sports are barely broadcasted.
That is partially true, but the main reson is that professionals get paid!

An amateur practices the sport until they gets it right, a professional practices it until they never get it wrong.! : D

thumbs up! if u accept!
