GURINDER Chadha’s 2002 comedy movie Bend it Like Beckham tells the story of one young south Asian woman’s fight to be able to play football, but the scene that keeps coming back to my mind over the last day or so is not about football.
"When those bloody English cricket players threw me out of their club like a dog, I never complained," says Mohaan Singh Bhamra, "I vowed that I will never play again. Who suffered? Me". Mohaan’s painful memory of his humiliation, and his guilt at his failure to stand up to it haunts me, as I read about Cricket Scotland's recent attempts to face up to its history of racism.
