Question

what does the word 'circus" refer to packer?

Answer 1

Kerry Packer, an Australian television tycoon who introduced several innovations in the practice of cricket, realised that cricket was a money- making sport. He signed up fifty-one of the world’s leading cricketers against the wishes of the national cricket boards and for about two years staged unofficial Tests and One-Day internationals under the name of World Series Cricket which was described as ‘circus’.
