Negotiating their right to play: Asian-specific cricket teams and leagues in the UK and Norway

We situate this article from the perspective that racism is embedded and institutionalised within the sport of cricket. This perspective emphasises that racism is contingent upon the sport’s history with inequality and marginalisation. In other words, to understand the historical legacies of ‘race’ and racism within cricket, we must situate these within broader discourses of Empire, ‘Englishness’ and ‘whiteness’.
