Abstract:	While Africans make up the majority population in KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa), Indians and whites together constitute over 95 percent of the cricket players and administrators in the province, both historically and in the contemporary period. This paper examines the historic construction of boundaries between Africans, Indians and whites in the struggle for control of cricket in this province in the first decade after the end of apartheid. It is about the making and persistance of race and ethnic classifications, the struggles over resources, and the attempts to mould disparate racial, economic, political, and ideological interests into a common nationhood.
