Racism in cricket

Stumped

Available for over a year

As the Black Lives Matter movement sweeps across the world, we throw the spotlight on racial inequality in cricket. We hear from the first black woman to play for England, Ebony Rainford-Brent, on her experiences of racism growing up in the sport and how she's trying to make a difference with young cricketers at Surrey. We also hear from former West Indies captain Darren Sammy, who claims he was given a racially offensive nickname, and Aboriginal Australian John McGuire who says his path to the top of the game was blocked because of the colour of his skin.
