This paper seeks to evaluate the 'racial equality' policy of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). A review of current research illustrates that much of the discrimination in the game is neither recognised nor addressed in this policy document. In light of the evidence presented, the paper concludes by arguing that to move closer towards equality of opportunity within cricket, not only must a range of current practices be reformed, but also the role of the ideological connections between Englishness, cricket and the 'village green' needs to be re-examined.
