Monty Panesar says racist institutions must lose funding amid Cricket Scotland scandal

Cricket Scotland could reportedly lose almost £500,000 worth of funding after they were found to be "institutionally racist" by an independent review.

The damning review found 448 examples of institutional racism within the sport, with Cricket Scotland failing 29 of the 31 indicators equality and diversity experts Plan4Sport used to measure the issue.
