Indian-born Australian businessman slams 'blatantly racist' Sydney test crowds


Each year, as chairman of the Chappell Foundation, he hosts a black-tie fundraiser at the Sydney Cricket Ground for youth homelessness, a function dotted with big names in the sport. During the Sydney test each year he usually holds a more intimate dinner frequented by the great and good of the game from Cricket Australia board members and executives to ex-players such as Adam Gilchrist. Cameron Spencer/Getty Images Police speak to spectators following a complaint from Mohammed Siraj of India that stopped play in Sydney. CA is also probing complaints by the Indian team that their players were the targets of racial taunts from members of the crowd. But after many years of attending the Sydney test, he says racial discrimination during the event is a regular occurrence.
