QUESTION: Sorry i forgot to mention it, i play soccer and cricket.

Answer
When you play soccer, do you play for 3 hours at a time?  Is it every day or once a week, once a month, etc.?  Three hours is a very long time to play continuously. No wonder you're exhausted.   It seems like you're expecting to be able to play that long.  Without knowing your eating habits and other physical activities, it's not possible to give you specific advise. I'm not familiar with cricket, but the same thing would probably apply.
