PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Cricket: Bullying and Discrimination (14 December 2022)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment her Department has made of the effectiveness of the Cricket Discipline Commission at tackling discrimination, bullying, racism and sexism in cricket in (a) England and (b) Wales.

Asked by:
Navendu Mishra (Labour)

Answer

The work of the Cricket Discipline Commission is a matter for the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). The Government has no role in scrutinising its work.

We will continue to directly hold the ECB to account on cultural change in the sport, particularly around racism, and reserve the right to take further measures if progress is not made.
