THE interim boss of Cricket Scotland has insisted he is “determined” to make the sport a welcoming place as he claimed an action plan for tackling institutional racism would be published this week.
Gordon Arthur, interim CEO, updated the Scottish Parliament’s Health, Social Care and Sport Committee on Tuesday on progress being made after an independent review commissioned by sportscotland found the governance and leadership of the sport to be institutionally racist.
But while Arthur – alongside sportscotland’s Chief Operating Officer Forbes Dunlop – insisted plans were being put in place to transform the inner workings of Cricket Scotland, MSPs were highly critical of the pace of change and exposed staffing issues during the meeting, including an apparent reluctance to recruit an HR manager.
