About the book

A page-turner of a novel set in the world of cricket in Mumbai Fourteen-year-old Manjunath Kumar knows that he is good at cricket – even if he’s not as good as his elder brother Radha. He knows that he fears and resents his cricket-obsessed father. But there are many things about himself and the world that he doesn’t know. When he meets Radha’s great rival – a boy as privileged and confident as Manju is not – everything in his world begins to change, and he is faced with decisions that will change his sense of self forever. ‘A compelling tale of cricket and corruption’ – The Guardian ‘An engrossing and nuanced coming-of-age-novel’ – Sunday Times ‘[Selection Day] goes back to an old theme, the pursuit of social mobility, this time through cricket’ – Mint ‘One of the best novels written about the game’ – The Hindu ‘[Adiga] is not merely a confident storyteller but also a thinker, a sceptic, a wily entertainer, a thorn in the side of orthodoxy and cant’ – New York Times ‘The most exciting novelist writing in English today’ – A.N. Wilson NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
