Question

why were cricket dominated by the white elites in british colonial territories like the west indies

Answer 1

In the British colonies, cricket was dominated by the White elites because -

1. The Britishers brought the game of cricket to West Indies. They did not allow the natives to play the game. So the Whites dominated the game till 1930s.

2. The higher classes played cricket. So the people who played cricket were considered to have a higher social position.
