The rise of India has changed everything. The sub-continent now generates 70% of global cricket revenues and does not hesitate to exercise the power and influence that goes with it. Cricket has always been a vector of national affirmation. The elite of the Victorian English considered it as part of the civilizing mission of the empire, uniting the distant subjects in a loyalty to the mother country and its values. "Playing honorab...
