|
Answer» 1. The technology of satellite television and the worldwide reach of multi-national television companies created a global market for cricket. 2. This simple fact was brought to its logical conclusion by globalisation. Since India had the largest viewership for the game among the cricket-playing nations and the largest market in the cricketing world, the game's centre of gravity shifted to South Asia. 3. This shift was symbolised by the shifting of the ICC headquarters from London to tax-free Dubai. |
