This book provides a detailed ethnographic account of the lives and
experiences of a group of male, university-based academy cricketers
transitioning into (and away from) professional sport. Set in one
of the six university centres of cricket excellence established by
the England and Wales Cricket Board in 2000 as a pathway into
professional cricket, the study examines the nature of the
university cricket experience in relation to a process of
occupational identity-exploration and development. Through a series
of empirical insights, the author illustrates the tension between
aspiration and reality players encountered in deciding whether
cricket, as an occupation and future identity-commitment, was right
for them. In so doing, the book reveals the questions of identity
generated by players' interactions with their cricketing
environment relating to their lives as student-cricketers and as
young people. University Cricket and Emerging Adulthood will be of
interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines,
including sociology, psychology, sport coaching, sport policy and
leisure studies.
