Most would stand against institutions outside our sphere that have structural racism. But find it hard to confront that it may exist in something close to them. Only when that acceptance happens can progress be made.

This video from the great Michael Holding really resonates in terms of where we are at, and what needs to change when people find the courage to speak up.

If he’s greatest spinner of history of assoc cricket, his career ended at 31 with no route back… that definitely requires the scrutiny many seek. But perhaps not when it indicates racism? Only when it might prove it doesn’t? His treatment post World Cup and since is a travesty

Cricket Scotland has released a statement regarding online abuse of its players and staff.

An important message in response to recent (and ongoing) incidents of online abuse.

Any form of abuse, whether online or in person, is abhorrent and should not be tolerated. Be the best you can be and support others with positivity and understanding, pretty simple really...

Does anyone know this racist? If they do please report him to the authorities Police Scotland Police Scotland Perth and Kinross this is the tip of the iceberg stuff you unfortunately see on X time & time again. The granddaughters must be cringing having someone like you as a grandad billy

This is what happens when you confront a racist. If you are tackling racism & online racism make sure you knock on this guys front door Police Scotland Police Scotland Perth and Kinross I’m sure he can easily be identified. #enoughisenough

At least put your name to the article - wow this game & its people

An anonymous opinion piece is a new low in journalistic scrutiny on this issue. The cricketer is not a person. Taking tips from ‘The Sun says’ approach to unaccountable journalism. I wonder if all on your staff are in support of this ?

The systematic & relentless targeting of past & present players must stop. Both orgs need to do something beyond the wall of silence to support those targeted. We have raised our concerns, things have gone on long enough now. We need strong leadership to stand against this.

Well done to the amazing Active Life Club team. Their programme for young female leaders is an exemplar for all sports looking to smash stereotypes and barriers faced by young women from ethnically diverse backgrounds - not just participating, but leading in sport.

Barriers to women participating in sport are even more pronounced among ethnic minority women. A clear example where stereotyping and even discrimination are holding back talent potential.

Happy Diwali to all those celebrating , and even if not for religious reasons, this is a message we can all get behind in difficult times.
