Publisher Description When Ramachandra Guha began following the game in the early 1960s, India was utterly marginal to the world of cricket: the country still hadnt won a Test match overseas; by the time he joined the Board of Control for Cricket in India, fifty years later, India had become world crickets sole superpower.

It presents vivid portraits of local heroes, provincial icons, and international stars. Cast as a work of literature, The Commonwealth of Cricket is keenly informed by the authors scholarly training, the stories and sketches narrated against a wider canvas of social and historical change. The book blends memoir, anecdote, reportage and political critique, providing a rich, insightful and rivetingly readable account of this greatest of games as played in the country that has most energetically made this sport its own.
