Description
The fascinating story of crickets world governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC), and how it grew into a multi-billion-dollar business. From cricket journalist, historian and academic Rod Lyall. This meticulously researched and authoritative history reveals how: Privileged aristocrats and mining magnates turned cricket into a civilizing force of empire, promoting the politics and prejudices of their class Crickets world governing body evolved from its early days in St Johns Wood, London as the Imperial Cricket Conference into the International Cricket Council, a multi-billion-dollar sporting business, based in Dubai and increasingly dominated by a financially and politically ambitious Indian elite The ICC failed to deal effectively with such challenges as the Bodyline controversy, apartheid in South Africa and Kerry Packers commercialization of the game Media rights deals and global events sponsorship have created new problems: match-fixing, administrative corruption and the threat from franchise leagues This is the first full account of the ICCs origins and its roots in imperialist ideology, charting its rise from a talking-shop into a multi-billion-dollar global business driven by massive worldwide TV audiences.
