Answers
Answer:
i)The Parsis were the first Indian community to set up a cricket club in India
This is because they were the first community who were into developing themselves in a westernised pattern. In 1848 at Bombay Parsis were funded by Tata and Wadias to build their gymkhana for cricket.
ii) Mahatma Gandhi condemned the Pentangular tournament.
He condemned it as a "communally divisive competition" when India's diverse population were tried to be united.
iii) The name of the ICC was changed from the Imperial Cricket to the International Cricket Conference.
"International Cricket Conference" as late as 1965 and is dominated by its founding members, "England and Australia", which retained the "right to veto" its proceedings.
iv) The shift of the ICC headquarters from London to Dubai.
This is done keeping the technology in mind and the satellite TV and reach of multinational TV worldwide had enhanced the cricket global market. The domination over the cricket of Anglo-Australian came to an end with this.
