    In South Asia during 1880-2005 politics gained an unusual bedfellow. Cricket was introduced to India by Great Britain for a purpose that was widely discussed. Some believed cricket brought their people together and unified different castes and cultures within India and Britain, some believed the sport was just another way for the British to rule over India and appear superior, and others criticized the religious nature present in many of the tournaments. This issue could be better understood by including an article by a British commoner who participated in the Quadrangular Tournament to make it evident that they really did want to spread religion and it wasn’t an overreaction by the Hindus or Muslims. It would also be conducive to include an article written by an Indian ruling elite who was the main source of any sort of political power or political relations with British elites so the reader can get a greater understanding of the actual role of cricket in politics and to experience if there were any conflicts over the solve issue of cricket during political debates.…

Deemed underdogs due to their previous world cup encounters, they surpassed the limit and became champions. This championship match would have united all of Sri Lanka as it was the first time they had made it to the final let alone past the first round. With all their nation’s pride on the line they were successful in not only a victory but also bringing confidence and togetherness to their country. However though the sun shun brightly upon their nation the tournament also marked one of the incidence that led to the end of West Indies as a global cricket giant.
