A group photo of 11 players adorns the desk of 35-year-old Mintu Gursariya. The photo was taken in 2001 - after the village boys won a local cricket match. Sadness tinges Mr Gursariya's voice as he points to his friends. "Most of them fell victims to drug addiction. One died in a road accident with an addict, one is in jail after caught peddling drugs," he said. The rest are struggling to give up the habit - among them his brother. Mr Gursariya managed to kick the habit 5 years ago and is leading a normal life. But in his village -- Gurusar Jadon in Punjab's Muktsar district -- not many have been so lucky.
