Cricket Scotland board resign ahead of publication of racism report

Cricket Scotland's entire board has resigned a day before a report into racism within Scottish cricket is due to be released.

The review was commissioned by government agency SportScotland last year after Scotland's all-time leading wicket-taker Majid Haq alleged that Cricket Scotland "institutionally racist". Haq's former teammate Qasim Sheikh has also spoken out about suffering racist abuse during his career.

In their resignation letter, the board issued a public apology and stated they had not read the report yet but were concerned about "proposed timescales and of certain mandated actions proposed" that were "unachievable".
