Cricket has been subject to a number of changes over the last
twenty years. We can no longer talk of a sport particular to an
out-dated English way of life. Cricket has become global and has to
exist within the global environment. Primarily the world game has
become commercialised. This collection of essays assesses the
developments within major playing nations between the World Cups.
Do we now live in a world where commercialism is the primary factor
in determining sports, or are wider historical prejudices still
evident? Seeking to answer these questions, Cricket, Race & the
2007 World Cup focuses on racial and ethnic tensions and their
place in the new globalized, cricketing environment. This book was
previously published as a special issue of Sport in Society.
