England's apex cricket body vows to "reset" the game in the country after a damning report on racism and sexism. Following the release of an independent report on Tuesday, which highlighted the insufficient efforts made to address institutional racism and sexism in cricket, England cricket chiefs have pledged to take action and initiate a comprehensive reset of the game.
The Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket (ICEC) was established by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in 2021 to investigate issues of diversity, inclusion and equity within the sport, prompted by a racism scandal. Azeem Rafiq, a bowler of Pakistani origin, publicly shared allegations of racism and bullying in September 2020, specifically relating to his time at Yorkshire, an English county team.
