But there was one thing the organisers did not want those viewers to see (other than India’s defeat by Australia in the final): cricket’s own climate crisis.

Key Points: 
  • But there was one thing the organisers did not want those viewers to see (other than India’s defeat by Australia in the final): cricket’s own climate crisis.
  • As Indian captain Rohit Sharma remarked, “It is not ideal and everyone knows that.” The United Nations describes the threat more forcefully.

Cricket and the climate Crisis

  • As an outdoor summer game in which the natural environment plays a unique role, cricket is perhaps the pitch sport most at risk from a changing climate.

    Time for a reckoning: Cricket Australia, fossil fuel sponsorship and climate change

    The threat is compounded by the precarious regions in which cricket is played.

  • At the same time, cricket is not merely a potential victim of the climate crisis, it is a contributor to it.

Sport and Sustainability

  • For a game facing a potential existential crisis, cricket’s sustainability efforts have been slow by comparison with other sports.
  • Both FIFA and World Rugby have sustainability plans, as do Formula One and most American sports leagues, including the NBA.
  • By contrast, the International Cricket Council has not published a sustainability strategy.

Inaction in New Zealand

  • New Zealand Cricket (NZC) is as silent on climate as many of its global counterparts.
  • It also notes the “cyclones, floods and related civil emergencies” that caused these cancellations were “well beyond its control”.
  • At a time when game is struggling to attract participants, climate change is making it harder for recreational cricketers to play.
  • New Zealand Cricket’s mission statement states:
    We think ahead and pay it forward.
