The England and Wales Cricket Board on Tuesday said it is committed to establish a new anti-discrimination unit to ensure that it has the right resources and capabilities to tackle discrimination in all its forms. The ECB said work to define the resources and capabilities required by the unit has been completed and the proposed approach has been approved by its Board. The ECB has released an update on its action plan to tackle racism and all forms of discrimination in cricket. “Since the previous update on 1 April 2022, the ECB has continued to work with stakeholders across the game to deliver further progress against the measures announced as part of the action plan. “As part of this process, Essex CCC must provide an updated action plan for approval by the ECB and sanctions may be considered if sufficient progress is not made within agreed deadline,” it said.
