It’s time the noble sport of cricket got off its high horse and realised the potential that exists in the broader population. 140 years since the first Test was played, between Australia and England, the Australian team today features similar Anglo-Saxon names to those that represented the colony in 1877.
Given the vast changes to the composition of Australian society since that time, it is astonishing to think that cricket has remained almost exclusively the domain of one social group.
AFL, football and rugby league have all capitalised on Australia’s racial and cultural diversity. AFL and rugby league, particularly, have benefited greatly from the input of Indigenous Australians.
Cricket is a hugely popular sport in the subcontinent and there are many people from that part of the world playing cricket at club level in Australia. Yet, none of them seem to progress to state or international level, unlike in the UK. The same question can be asked of Australians of Italian, Greek or Eastern European heritage. There are millions of second generation descendants of immigrants from Europe. Why are they playing at the highest level in plenty of sports in Australia – but not cricket?
