Rishi Sunak has spoken of the pain that racism caused him when he was growing up, as he said he believed the cricketing authorities were committed to stamping out widespread discrimination in the game.
Speaking to the BBC’s Test Match Special during the Ashes Test at Lord’s, the prime minister said he felt the “sting” of racism while growing up. He said his children were less likely to be exposed to racist abuse because of the progress the country had made in tackling it.
