The cricket test was a phrase coined by Norman Tebbit i referring to supposedly questionable loyalties of immigrants to the United Kingdom in 1990. It is also known as the Tebbit test.
During the 1980s and 1990s there was a perception in parts of the UK that some immigrants to the UK did not have a primary loyalty to the UK, but continued to identify with their countries of origin. The most infamous expression of this was made by conservative politician Norman Tebbit in an interview with the LA Times He said: “A large proportion of Britain’s Asian population fail to pass the cricket test. Which side do they cheer for? It’s an interesting test. Are you still harking back to where you came from or where you are?”[1]
