My favorite example from Wisden records
William Burton, a fast bowler, struggled to make his mark as he was of mixed race and was used
in practice matches to sharpen up white batsmen chosen to represent the island.
In 1899 he emigrated to Demerara which had far less strict rules on colour
(other promising colored players took the same route)
and bowled well enough in his first season to gain selection for the 1900 England tour 8)
