Looks like India is growing at a fast pace when it comes to Android, both in terms of users and the developers of the Android applications. There are Android based phones for almost every phone user segment in India. Android based phones are available with a starting price of few thousand rupees. Also the development of Android applications is moving at a fast pace, we heard about the expected launch of an Android Application store especially for Indians.

Another amazing fact of this story is that they started on development of this product in November 2010, and the current version of ‘Cricket Pro’ is 3.6, that proves that developers are keen to provide the best via the application, and also this somehow points towards the level of popularity of this application, isn’t it?

There were two other applications available already, but ours is more suitable for the Indian market.” Says the 22 year old, Software Engineer, and the developer of Cricket Pro, Brighton Vino.
