Following the publication of a governance review into Cricket Scotland, solicitor Aamer Anwar said the body is still 'unfit for purpose' as the interim chief executive announced he would stand down next month after six months in post.
A solicitor representing two former cricket players who have faced racist abuse has said the body representing the sport in Scotland remains "unfit for purpose". Following the publication of a governance review into Cricket Scotland, solicitor Aamer Anwar said the body is still "unfit for purpose" as the interim chief executive announced he would stand down next month after six months in post.
Speaking on behalf of his clients on Tuesday, Mr Anwar said: "Despite the horrific exposure of institutional racism, Cricket Scotland's empty soundbites today shows that it remains unfit for purpose. Both Majid Haq and Qasim Sheikh are sad to see the chief executive Gordon Arthur step down, he was a man who genuinely fought for change to take place.
But chair of Cricket Scotland Anjan Luthra insisted "significant progress" had been made in the organisation. In the governance review, Mr Luthra said: "Over the past six months, significant progress has been made. "It includes the progress made to date and an update on the publication of the groundbreaking Governance Review, which has been published today, as well as changes to the executive team."
