Discrimination 'widespread' in English cricket, report finds
In light of allegations made by former Yorkshire spinner Rafiq, the ECB published aThe ICEC said the significant response it received to its call for evidence was propelled by Rafiq's appearance at a Digital, Culture, Media and Sport select committee hearing in the same month, when he labelled English cricket "institutionally racist".
"Racism remains a widespread and serious problem in cricket across England and Wales and something that the ECB and the wider game should address with urgency.""Black adults are not playing cricket in sufficient numbers to even be picked up by surveys that measure participation in cricket," said the ICEC report.
In a statement, Rafiq said: "I welcome the report's findings and acknowledge the extraordinary work that has been put into this inquiry. The ICEC heard "evidence of a widespread culture of sexism and misogyny" and examples of men making unwanted and uninvited advances towards women. According to the report, an England women's white-ball player receives a salary that is 20.6% that of her male equivalent and the allowance given to the women's captain is 31% that of the men's.
To highlight the overrepresentation of privately educated people in the game, 42% of respondents to the ICEC's own survey went to a private school.
