Hopefully will be the catalyst for things to change because what he said about not wanting his son to play cricket now is pretty sad given how fanatical about the sport a lot of the South Asian community is

Well he gave a very powerful and emotional account of things for about 2 hours ... the part about his son was heart wrenching.

I’m thinking this will drive things forwards over the coming weeks .... he made it perfectly clear thar it wasn’t just a Yorkshire problem and mentioned name after name after name .

Cricket may never be the same again after this morning.
