Ashes hero Matthew Hoggard was blocked from speaking at an awards dinner on Friday night as a direct consequence of using racist language to Azeem Rafiq.
It came on a day ECB chief executive Tom Harrison vowed to stay on to clean up cricket. Harrison, speaking following an emergency meeting of all stakeholders at the Oval, insisted that he is the man to make the sport more diverse and to drive real change, a determination reported by Sportsmail on Friday.
Harrison claimed he received the support of the 41 ECB members to address the racism crisis, which will begin with the publication of a 12-point action plan next week, though he is still expected to leave Lord’s next year once a new chair has been appointed.
