Sammy, who led West Indies to two Twenty20 World Cup titles, has been at the forefront of the movement in cricket and wants those who run the game to do more. "So I urge them (to give racism) the same emphasis they put on protecting the integrity of the game. "It's amazing to see the lack of conversation in the cricket circle from certain parts of the world when it comes to social injustice and racism and all these things," Sammy added.
