Hawke’s Bay Cricket Association is investigating complaints a schoolboy cricket match was called off after racial vilification and other slurs. “The complaint involves racial vilification and homophobic and sexist slurs,” NZC said in a statement to Stuff. AP England bowler Jofra Archer was abused by a spectator at Mount Maunganui. NZC was involved in a similar incident in 2019, when England fast bowler Jofra Archer was racially abused at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui. The man responsible was in 2020 banned from attending international and domestic cricket matches in New Zealand for two years.
