Surrey's Vikram Solanki is the only current BAME head coach working in first-class county cricket. "We think it's right to adopt the principle of the Rooney Rule in the same way as many of the world's leading sports organisations have. Warwickshire director of cricket Paul Farbrace will manage winter training until a new first-team coach is appointed.
