Majid Haq claims he was referred to as a 'f***** cheating p***' after making a decision about a game
Police were called to Greenock Cricket Club on Brisbane Street in Inverclyde on Saturday, August 12. Officers attended the venue after the club's standing umpire, Majid Haq, was allegedly subjected to racial abuse.
Former Scotland cricketer Haq said: "I appreciate the word is already out about the incident at Greenock on 12 August. There is already far too much misinformation out on social media, particularly regarding racism issues in cricket, and therefore I felt it important to put this out."It was incredibly upsetting, not just for me but also for the numerous players of Pakistani descent in earshot.
Complaints about racism from Haq and another former Scotland player prompted a review of Cricket Scotland, which was published last year.The review was carried out by consultancy firm Plan4Sport and SportScotland, found the sporting body had failed in 29 out of 31 indicators of institutional racism.
