Independent report finds deep rooted racism and discrimination in English cricket

• The 'Holding Up A Mirror To Cricket' investigation found racism to be "entrenched" in the game, with nearly half of respondents reporting experiencing discrimination.
• The report also found little focus on breaking down class barriers and marginalization of women in the sport.
• The Wales Cricket Board apologized "unreservedly" for the failures identified in the report and committed to implementing reforms.
• The report calls for equalizing match fees for men's and women's teams and launching an action plan to revive cricket in black communities.
• The ECB will spend three months consulting affected groups to develop a plan of action aligned with the report's 44 recommendations.
