Introduction

 

Wrestling is one of the dominant traditional games, which is played in the rural areas of district Killa Abdullah. The nature of wrestling is quite different from the wrestling of other provinces. In local language, this wrestling is known as "Ghazhe". This game is played by two persons under a referee. The rules of the game are well known. The main rule is that if any part of the wrestler, apart from his feet, touches the ground, the wrestler looses the game. This game is always played during social and religious festivals. Besides this, football, volley ball, cricket, smashing ball (shoot ball) and marble playing are among games played in the district. In the towns football and cricket are played.
