The England and Wales Cricket Board on Monday apologised "unreservedly" to those who faced discrimination in the game after the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket released a report finding evidence of racism across the sport.
The ECB said it will work alongside representatives from the sport and build a plan of action in the next three months, which will align with the ICEC's 44 recommendations. "Cricket should be a game for everyone, and we know that this has not always been the case. Powerful conclusions within the report also highlight that for too long women and Black people were neglected. We are truly sorry for this."
