The book examines how profoundly cricket in Pakistan influences culture, politics and society and how it is in turn influenced by the wider social and political context within which it is embedded. An analysis of cricket therefore allows a unique insight into wider societal trends in politics and international relations, race, religion, corruption, cultural change and globalization.
