- Around 150 years ago cricket was considered an English game because it was introduced in England and the game represented the English culture and values.  
- The cricket at that time was more of a symbol of status and class. People who used to play cricket were considered superior.  
- Gradually, non white clubs were established 
- Decolonization was the process which led to the decline of English influence 
- From 1989 a drive  towards equal membership  in ICC was witnessed 
- Massive television coverage expanded the fan following of cricket 
- MNC's created a global market for cricket  
- India has the largest viewership for the game and hence the game's center of gravity shifted to South Asia. 
- This shift was symbolized by the shifting of the ICC headquarters from London to Dubai.
