I'll update this with details from the report as we go through it. But, in short, just about everything Jahid and Maurice Chambers said - and they said some incredible things - has been upheld. The report is a brutal read but valuable, I think:

BREAKING: An independent report into allegations of historic racism at Essex Cricket club has been released. Findings include: - “Several players” were subjected to racial abuse - Racial abuse was “entirely normalised” in the dressing room… (1 of 2)

(2 of 2) There was a “lack of understanding” of needs of Muslim players - Former chairman of the club used racist language during a board meeting in 2017 - Report author Katharine Newton KC satisfied former player jahid ahmed was called a “curry muncher” by a teammate

I am sorry but the club have not shown the report to the victims - there’s been no accountability & a lot more going on behind the scenes This quick rush to show how many great things are don’t help any - especially not those that have been at the end of it & still fighting

I know it’s uncomfortable - it’s difficult but days like these are hardest for jahid ahmed , Maurice & others - some of them haven’t stopped crying since they were told & yet to receive the report Keep your cheerleading for a later time have some respect

shropshirestar.com/sport/uk-sport… This is what the PCA have learnt - lip service & gaslighting This conversation was pushed to individuals by institutionally racist organisations who watched from the side Watch out for next PR campaign to tell people how much they will change 🤦🏽‍♂️

1/3 : Finally, I have been vindicated. It has taken 2 years to get the report done. Although it’s only the summary report has been published by Essex, I am still to see the full report. I have been fighting for this and I want to see the full report.

2/3: There hasn’t been any accountability and lot going on behind the scenes. When you get racially abused and bullied for a long time, it never leaves you. I do find it difficult to speak about it and gets me angry but reasons I do it because of the next generation.

3/3: I keep telling myself it’s for a good cause and keep on fighting regardless how difficult it is. All of this only made an impact because of going to the media. The unions and the reporting lines which should have worked have been hopeless.
