There’s many forms of racism. It’s also important to recognise it’s not always in your face either, subtleness is also more than effective. To top it off, sexism coupled with racism definitely makes cricket look like an easy sport to take up…oh how I wish😔

'Admitting that he had only read ‘bits’ of it, Botham nonetheless dismissed the report as ‘nonsense’, which he claims he ‘threw on the floor’. Ironically, the report was only published online. One assumes he has a well-stocked printer.'

Insane to read that England Women have played at Lord's only once in any format since they won the 2017 World Cup final there six years ago - although are due to return on July 8 for the third T20I of the ongoing Ashes series.
