Abstract
This article argues that the increasingly hybrid and transnational nature of contemporary sports has diversified subjectivities of exclusion. It analyses an instance of inclusion/exclusion, the ‘Vaseline incident’, which transcended the First World/Third World or black/white polarities that were at the forefront of contemporary culture during the 1970s. Having set out the controversy in detail, it interprets the agency of the Indian and British news media and cricket administrators in precipitating and/or subverting the inclusive nature of sport. By studying official and media polemics, it draws attention to the simultaneous production of hegemonic and counter-hegemonic models of marginalization in response to operations of individual exclusions within team sports.
