From community to county level, a story of how grassroots Asian cricket went professional.

Yorkshire based journalist and cricket fan Nasser Hanif explores recordings he made for the archive project 鈥淔rom Parks to Pavilions鈥� which documented how Asian community cricket developed from its roots on the backstreets through to the formation of the first leagues and up to county level and beyond.

It鈥檚 a story that reflects society at the time, looks into immigration and cultural differences and asks how the sport can create a climate where diversity flourishes.

The project was produced by a Bradford community organisation AYA in 2016 and was originally broadcast on local 鲍鱼tv radio across England.
