Summary

This book explores the neglected areas of intersection of cricket and the law. A lot has happened in the world of cricket since the first edition of this book was published in 1993, and this new, updated version examines these new issues, such as the relationship between cricket and national politics and the increased interest in theoretical problems of interpretation in jurisprudence.
