I think what cricket_er was trying to say is that most of the people of BD origin who live in Tower Hamlets where from villages in Sylhet. When they migrated to the UK in the 60s and 70s cricket wasn't that big even in Dhaka let alone the remote villages, so those people were never interested much in cricket. On the other hand the Pakistanis and Indians have been cricket mad for decades, so the original people who migrated to the UK were cricket fans from the very beginning which has been passed down to their children.
