Our Vision


A future where institutional and individual racism no longer exists in Cricket in Scotland.

Who Are We?

A group of cricket lovers – players, administrators and fans – that want the current coverage on cricket in Scotland to lead to changes in the way our institutions are run, so that racism of all forms in cricket can be eradicated. We want to be part of the solution, and to have our say in what happens next. We currently do not have adequate representation in all the different areas that decisions are made, and have therefore created this group and associated campaign, outlining the initial steps that we believe need to be taken to start us all on this journey.

Our Asks

That Scottish Government, and SportScotland, commit to implementing a suitable version of the Plan4Sport racism assessment framework used to assess Cricket Scotland. This should be a conditional part of funding for Sports Governing Bodies in Scotland.
That Scottish Government implements some form of independent regulation and/or investigation arm, where failings can be raised beyond governing bodies.

That a date is published by Cricket Scotland, on which the first cases referred for investigation from Plan4Sport will take place.

That Cricket Scotland, as an immediate early priority, commit to collecting data at all levels centrally, on the diversity from grass roots right to where the highest decisions are made.

That Cricket Scotland and SportScotland involve those with lived experience in the agreement and signoff of the Cricket Scotland action plan for special measures, to be produced within the next few weeks.
