Cricket News sort by racism

South Africa’s coach Mark Boucher has asserted that he remains committed to his job even as it was confirmed on Thursday that he would be facing charges for gross misconduct with regards to racism allegations. Boucher was among a number of former Proteas cricketers against who racism allegations were levelled.

In a shocking revelation, former South African fast bowler Makhaya Ntini has alleged that he had to face discrimination from teammates during his playing days with the national team.

As many as 30 former South African cricketers, including prominent names like Makhaya Ntini, Herschelle Gibbs and Vernon Philander, have given their backing to the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, claiming that racism is still very much a part of cricket in the nation.

Former West Indies captain Darren Sammy, who called out Sunrisers Hyderabad for alleged racist behaviour, has stressed on the importance of educating young cricketers on anti-racism in a systematic manner so that the sanctity of the gentleman's game can remain in tact.
