This talk, discussing aspects of Dr Michael Collins’ new book Windrush Cricket (Oxford University Press 2025) requires no knowledge of the game itself, but will seek to persuade listeners of cricket’s cultural and ideological importance in our understanding of Caribbean and British history, race and Englishness, postwar migration and contemporary national identity.

Sports competitions are often based on nationality, resulting in a form of accepted discrimination because of the specific characteristics of sport.
