Explanation
Cricket - the game not the insect - say 'cricket' - or one of any number of cricket related words and we are in summer in the UK - the game is played throughout the summer months.
Here's an example recently published in Asahi Shimbun:

And David McMurray comments on the poem in his notes - saying that 'cricket' is a seasonal word for cricket.

Cricket [ the game] is a religion [almost] in India!
Being played in almost every street - every day of the year!
One big advantage is that since this game is covered extensively by the media - a general awareness about its rules have been established.
If you remember we had a Bollyhood movie two years back called 'Lagaan' - which was all about the uninitiated playing the game and winning!
The world cup every four years is a big event that we Indians look forward to. . .
