A total of 448 examples of institutional racism have been found following a shocking independent review of cricket in Scotland.
The sport's governing body has now recommended to be placed in "special measures" after the findings of the Changing the Boundaries report were described as a "wake-up call for Scottish sport". Cricket Scotland failed in 29 out of 31 indicators of institutional racism following an investigation by consultancy firm Plan4Sport and SportScotland only partially passed the other two tests.
The review was prompted by allegations from former Scotland players Majid Haq and Qasim Sheikh in November and staff spoke to hundreds of people. From those conversations, 68 individual concerns have been referred for further investigation, including 31 allegations of racism against 15 people, two clubs and one regional association.
