Having only received the decisions today, we will need time to consider them carefully." It's time to reflect, learn and implement change." Hopefully, the structures of the game can now be rebuilt and institutionalised racism ended for good. Branding the proceedings an "inappropriate, inadequate, and backwards step", he added: "There are no winners in this process and there are better ways - there have to be better ways - for cricket to move forward positively and effectively. The 48-year-old says there are no winners in the process, which he reveals brought him "to the brink of falling out of love with cricket" and insists there have to be better ways of taking the game forward. "The outcome of these CDC proceedings must not be allowed to detract from the core message that there can be no place for racism in the game of cricket, or in society generally."

Addressing them point by point in public is likely to inflame the situation. "There are a number of inaccuracies within his statement. This is just another example of trying to rewrite the narrative and ignoring the facts. "People make mistakes, but to blame others rather than owning them in any way is disappointing. Key to resolving this situation is rebuilding trust, and strong consultation. Many internally have tried to help with that, but it has fallen on deaf ears.

To top that, a cumulative viewership of about 100 million fans in India on TV and Digital in just 8 matches.
EXCLUSIVE: Major League Cricket is the USA's first professional T20 franchise tournament and has the likes of England 2019 World Cup winner Liam Plunkett ...
They do not want Major League Cricket to be another failed attempt to crack the American market. Ideally, we'd love to have the guys come out - I think there's a world where they can do both, to be honest." Yet Major League Cricket is hoping to attract some of England's international stars, many of whom won the 2019 World Cup alongside Plunkett. Major League Cricket will clash with the Ashes, which has been brought forward to June and July to make way for The Hundred. "But the experience in terms of coaching - not just our high-performance guys, but just new people to the sport. It's the opposite summer to a lot of the down under countries, so I think we've got a nice little slot. Plunkett adds, "I still want to test myself against the best players in the world but also help promote the league. I think our salary cap is going to be pretty competitive, compared to some of the other leagues at the moment. "I think ACE, which is our parent company in Major League Cricket, has the right mix of high-network investors who are very smart businesspeople - savvy businesspeople - in their own right. Cricket is not a new phenomenon in the United States. There have been attempts to establish a professional game in the United States before, but to no avail. Yet the architects of Major League Cricket - including former England bowler and World Cup winner Liam Plunkett - are confident of success.

What was once adored by many seemed to be losing fans globally. England seemed to be at the forefront of this downward spiral; a status in the game that was not ...
More of the public are playing and following the longer format of the game and it does seem that Stokes and McCullum have to the public hooked. There is no better example of this than the first Test match England played against Pakistan in Rawalpindi. On numerous occasions, members of the dressing room have commented on how Stokes and McCullum give the players full freedom in their batting. There has certainly been an upturn in form since McCullum took charge of the England team with them having won ten out of the 12 Test matches they have played. This dramatic England downward spiral finally came to end in St George’s, Grenada where England slumped to a deflating ten wicket loss to a jubilant West Indies team which inevitably led to the resignation of Test captain Joe Root. Test cricket is often referred to by many as the ‘boring’ format of the game.

Anyone with kids knows they don’t give much away, but I know how hard it has been for them and the children of all those involved." The trauma these individuals have had to go through has not been fair on human beings. The former England Test cricket captain had been accused of using racist language towards ex teammate Azeem Rafiq and three other Asian players before a Yorkshire match in 2009.
George Dobell reflects on the Cricket Discipline Commission rulings against Yorkshire and seven former players, including the acquittal of Michael Vaughan.
None of this means the CDC process was a waste of time and money. But in dressing rooms and board rooms across the land, there is now an understanding that the world has changed. "None of this means the CDC process was a waste of time and money. It's not naive to think that, in time, the sport will reflect with gratitude at Azeem's bravery and persistence. But in dressing rooms and board rooms across the land, there is now an understanding that the world has changed" Within days, we can expect the publication of the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket (ICEC) report, too. But as the evidence (not just the anecdotal evidence, but the data provided by the South Asian Cricket Academy, ICEC and others) has gathered, so it has become obvious this is a conversation we need to have. And he has, through threats and intimidation towards him and his family, been obliged to leave the country as he attempted to find it. Yes, he went on to make criticisms of the ECB and Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) process. For all the criticism of the CDC process, these verdicts are significant. It's not naive to think that, in time, the sport will reflect with gratitude at Azeem Rafiq's bravery Instead of focusing on his own trials and tribulations, Vaughan instead began with a nod to Azeem Rafiq's.
