Description

With Azeem Rafiq’s testimony ringing in their ears, the ECB launched a 12 point anti-racism plan. But is it the right plan, will it work, and what more must be done?On Cricket: Inside The Story, journalist and broadcaster Nakul Pande seeks expert help to take you beyond the headlines and deeper than the news cycle on the sport’s most important stories. Assessing the ECB’s new anti-racism response are:• Tom Brown from Birmingham City University, whose PhD research revealed that South Asian players and coaches are disproportionately blocked from progression in professional cricket;• Dr Thomas Fletcher from Leeds Beckett University, a sociologist who was lead author of an unjustly ignored 2014 report for the ECB on barriers to South Asian players and coaches, which Azeem Rafiq cited at the DCMS committee and formed an important part of his employment tribunal.Presenter, editor and producer: Nakul PandeTwitter: @CricInsideStoryEmail: cricketinsidethestory@gmail.comWebsite: nakulpande.com/cricket-inside-story-podcastMusic: Warm Up Suit by Broke For Free; original available from the Free Music Archive; Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 International License
