Quaid-e-Azam Sunday Cricket League
The Quaid-e-Azam Sunday Cricket League,[lower-alpha 1] (QeASCL) is the first all-Asian cricket league recognised by the England and Wales Cricket Board, founded in 1980, by South Asian immigrant communities in West Yorkshire, who felt that as Asians, they were discriminated against in English cricket leagues.[3]
Following the Yorkshire County Cricket Club racism scandal, and historic "neglect and preferential treatment", the group cut official ties with it and the Yorkshire Cricket Board and England and Wales Cricket Board.[4]
Notes
- ↑ Sometimes shortened to the Quaid-e-Azam Cricket League,[1] or simply the Quaid-e-Azam.[2] Named after the founder of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, who is revered as the Quaid-e-Azam (Great Leader) of the country.
