Cricket is “facing a reckoning” as a result of the Azeem Rafiq affair and needs to take a long look in the mirror when it comes to discrimination, the chair of the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket (ICEC) has said.
After launching a call for written evidence for her independent report, which is due to be published this autumn, Cindy Butts said the ICEC had received a “staggering” response to an initial online survey, with more than 4,000 people coming forward to detail their experiences of discrimination on the basis of race, gender and class.
