“…He offers a general reading of the relationship between globalization and popular culture, which relates to a number of themes covered in other chapters, as well as an overview of research into sports and, in particular, football (soccer) -with special reference made to the creative incorporation of these sports in Asian societies. Khondker provides a splendid summary of the work undertaken by himself and Robertson (Khondker & Robertson, 2018) on cricket, as well as by Giulianotti and Robertson (2004 on football. Given the chapter's particular orientation and scope, readers are treated not only to a discussion of sports but also to a more general perspective on culture and glocalization.…”

“…All age groups in the country play cricket, often formally starting in primary school, and progressing to recreational weekend cricket, with the pinnacle being elite first-class cricket. Globally, the introduction of the shorter franchise-based Twenty20 (T20) game format and internet streaming of cricket matches has coincided with increased spectator popularity and has likely contributed to larger participation numbers 2. In NZ, nationwide cricket participation numbers have increased by 75%, with 97 263 registered cricketers in the 2005–2006 season to 170 344 registered in the 2015–2016 season 3.…”

ObjectivesTo provide epidemiological data for cricket injuries in New Zealand.MethodsA retrospective analytical review using epidemiological cricket data obtained from the national Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) for 2005–2016. Injury incidence was calculated per 1000 participants.ResultsThere were 86 562 injuries (77 212 males and 9350 females) during the 12 years with higher injury incidence for males (64.1) than females (36.1). While cricket-related injury claims increased by 42.6%, the injury incidence decreased from 59.0 in 2006 to 42.8 in 2016. The pooled injury rate per 1000 participants was highest for hand/fingers (9.2) and lumbar (8.1) body regions, and for contact (44.7) activities. Players aged 10–20 years were more likely to experience injury.ConclusionsAnalysis of 12 years of ACC cricket-related injury claims showed only minimal reductions in injury incidence over the years. Therefore, cricket-related contact injuries to the hand/fingers and head need to be the focus of injury prevention programmes (eg, via promoting use of protective gear and correct technique), particularly in players aged 10–20 years.

“…Phil Hughes' shocking death has linked cricket in to sport's concussion crisis (Malcolm 2020) and more general moves to take safety and injuries more seriously. Modern communication technologies, glamour and money have taken the consumption of cricket to unforeseen levels (Khondker and Robertson 2018). Frequent transformations in the game's format, style of play, presentation to the audience, and forms of consumption have changed what cricket looks and feels like.…”

Cricket at the beginning of the long twenty-first century

This article provides an introduction to the special issue, Cricket in the Twenty-First Century. It argues that cricket's struggle for global recognition and the shifting concerns about cricket's perceived 'character' provide two of the most significant meta-narratives to shape the game's historical and future development. However, in contrast to the degree of continuity these narratives appear to provide, the article argues that the game is currently undergoing a particularly rapid and radical phase of change. The contents of this special issue illustrate the processes that will dominate in the twenty-first century. These can be broadly categorised as the changing political economy of the game, the culturally-specific manifestations of cricket's political-economic landscape, and the intro-and retrospection within the English game. The article concludes with a state-of-the-art review of cricket scholarship, and some recommendations for future research agendas.An anthology of Wisden articles from 1978 to 2006 was named 'Cricket's Age of Revolution' (Moss 2006). If this phase saw a ground-breaking entanglement of cricket with commerce and mass media, leading to a restructuring of the game's ethos, governance, and consumption, changes more sweeping and far-reaching have taken place in the following years. India is now the epicentre of money and power in the game. We have seen both the resurgence of Test cricket (in some nations) and success of the Twenty20 experiment in expanding cricket's global reach and market. Women's cricket has taken giant strides (Velija 2015). Talks of mitigating discrimination of all sorts and enforcing the spirit of the game have intensified (Burdsey 2011). 'Fringe' nations like Bangladesh, Ireland and Afghanistan have proved to be strong competitors (Bandyopadhyay 2015). Phil Hughes' shocking death has linked cricket in to sport's concussion crisis (Malcolm 2020) and more general moves to take safety and injuries more seriously. Modern communication technologies, glamour and money have taken the consumption of cricket to unforeseen levels (Khondker and Robertson 2018). Frequent transformations in the game's format, style of play, presentation to the audience, and forms of consumption have changed what cricket looks and feels like. The emergent and open-ended character of these social processes suggests the potential to dominate the next phases of cricket's development. Making sense of these processes is the central aim of this special issue.
