Have you experienced direct racism in cricket in England?ĭonovan Miller: I have, on several occasions. "You can tell everything you need to know about the mindset of cricket in England that the game between Eton and Harrow is played at Lord's" Roland Butcher
EBONY FROM THE PLAYERS CLUB PROFESSIONAL
We spoke to several other players of Afro-Caribbean heritage who have played professional cricket in England over the years about their experiences in the country: Roland Butcher, the first black man to represent England, who now works as a coach and an educator in the game Ebony Rainford-Brent, the first black woman to represent England, who currently works as a broadcaster, coach and Surrey board member Chesney Hughes, a batsman who played for Derbyshire between 20 Donovan Miller, a former fast bowler who has been head coach in various T20 leagues and a part of England's coaching team during the 2019 World Cup Arthur Godsal, a 22-year-old seamer who has played for England Under-19 and Middlesex Tymal Mills, England fast bowler and broadcaster, and the most recent British-born player of Afro-Caribbean descent to represent England Michael Holding, former West Indies fast bowler and broadcaster who has played county cricket as an overseas player and lives in the UK for much of the year Tino Best, former West Indies fast bowler, who played county and league cricket in England and Dr Richard Sargeant, an academic, educator and former cricketer. In cricket the conversation began after Daren Sammy spoke out about the racist nickname given to him by his former IPL team-mates, and former England batsman Michael Carberry said " cricket is rife with racism". The widespread anti-racist protests in the United States and other parts of the world in recent weeks following the death of George Floyd have led to greater light being shone on systemic racism in every area of life.
