The world’s best-supported sports team is playing in the United States this weekend. Not that you would have heard much about it, unless you’re Indian or happen to live around Broward County, Florida.

India is set to play two cricket matches against the West Indies — the combined national team of fifteen Caribbean nations and dependencies — at Central Broward Stadium, five miles from downtown Fort Lauderdale, in a game that will pass by the vast majority of the American sporting public.

Of course, this game isn’t about America. It isn’t really about the West Indies either, though technically they are the hosts of the series. This is all about India, because when it comes to international cricket, it usually is all about India. They are the game’s powerhouse, the biggest supplier of television eyeballs and marketing dollars to the sport, and as such, they call the shots.
