“Over the past year, the whole game has responded positively to the action plan we set out in response to the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket, and we will shortly update on the progress which has been made.

Vital progress has been made throughout the membership to construct a office that values and respects each particular person, no matter their background, id, and beliefs.

“This extends to the fantastic community work being carried out across the region and we understand our responsibility to our local communities as the county club who represents them.

“I’ve personally met with the victims to apologise on behalf of the membership and clarify the work carried out by the Board in producing the report. Following suggestions from the unbiased committee, the 12 Membership is now coping with the method regarding any people the place sanctions could also be imposed. The membership will deal with these promptly however with equity to the people concerned.”
