A recent study by Leeds Beckett University said only 9 Black players competed in last county season.
LONDON - The England and Wales Cricket Board said a range of measures aimed at strengthening its inclusion and diversity strategy would deal with some “uncomfortable truths”.
It has proposed a game-wide anti-discrimination charter and code for players, coaches, fans, media and clubs as well as increased opportunities for BAME individuals to play and coach. “We have listened and will continue to listen carefully to the experiences of Black people in cricket and society, and we thank those who worked tirelessly and spoke bravely to open up conversations about the change our sport needs to create.”
The ECB said its new measures would extend its existing Inclusion & Diversity action plan and build on initiatives aimed at women’s and girls cricket and the South Asian community.
