Language: Eng.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Ramachandra Guha began following the game in the early 1960s, India was utterly marginal to the world of cricket: the country still hadn't 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 cricket's sole superpower. The Commonwealth of Cricket is a first-person account of this astonishing transformation. The book traces the entire arc of cricket in India, across all levels at which the game is played: school, college, club, state, country. 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 author's 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ramachandra Guha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53095400472800,"sku":"9789390327287","price":118.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/5681\/6608\/files\/719ndrDfkdL._SY522.jpg?v=1781660680","url":"https:\/\/medicalbook.online\/products\/the-commonwealth-of-cricket","provider":"medicalbook.online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
