ICEC report will hopefully be seen as a landmark but the game reflects the society that exists around it
The ICEC report that was published on Tuesday will hopefully come to be seen as a landmark in the development of a more equal game. Reading it, my response was informed by memories of my own path into cricket, my mixed heritage and the position I now find myself in as president of a first-class county and director of cricket at a leading private school.
I have lived in and around Harrow my whole life. My mum is a white woman from East Ham, from a very modest background. My father’s ancestors were from India, but he arrived in England from Guyana in 1960.
