It won’t be out of place to say that they provide an important connect between the supremely interested formal jacket-tie wearing crowd savouring Test matches at Lord’s and what Marqusee describes as “large sections of the population (who) are consigned to inferior rank” in a social order spun by the mythology of cricket. It stems from the fact that South Asians have occupied a key, but also an interesting spot, in the English cricketing fraternity. Vaughan has denied Rafiq’s allegations, but it does point out how the presence of Asians, in what has always been a preferred game of the elite, has been problematic. Rafiq, the former England under-19 captain, was told by Michael Vaughan, referring to the Asian players, that there were “too many of you lot, we need to do something about it”. For decades now, South Asians have enriched cricket in England, providing a steady flow of players, coaches, support staff, and youngsters who prefer to wield the bat instead of donning football boots.

When Azeem Rafiq’s case burst out in full force on Tuesday (November 16, 2021), it signified that a key section – South Asians – disproportionately engaged in serving the game in England has still some distance to go before it sits comfortably in the English cricket hierarchy.

It took an extraordinary 36 years for England to win their first cricket World Cup in 2019 after almost all the major cricket playing countries had lifted the trophy. West Indies took the first two and the third one in 1983 was bagged by India. The first three cricket world cups were held in England and none were won by it. In the 1970s and '80s, a generation with fairly good memory of the crumbling of the British Empire was now witnessing the extraordinary rise of new cricketing powers from the former colonies. The refined English commentary could hardly hide the shock decimation England faced. Mike Marqusee writes in his celebrated book Anyone But England that the superb performance by the visiting West Indies cricket team in the summer of 1976 caused much anguish to English commentators.
