MANCHESTER, England: West Indies captain Jason Holder wants racism to be treated as seriously as doping and match-fixing in cricket, the 28-year-old has said.
Then Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed was slapped with a four-match ban last year for a racist remark aimed at South Africa all-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo.Earlier this month, former West Indies captains Darren Sammy and Chris Gayle said they have experienced racist abuse and threw their weight behind the Black Lives Matters campaign.
"I don't think the penalty for doping or corruption should be any different for racism," Holder told BBC Sport.Under the anti-racism code of the governing International Cricket Council , a third breach of the code by a player could lead to a life ban.The sanction for a first offence by a player can be up to a ban for four tests or eight limited-overs matches.
England will consider a joint anti-racism protest with West Indies during the three-test series between the sides next month.
