Exploring how grassroots cricket is gearing up for the new season following the Azeem Rafiq racism scandal.
Nasser Hanif looks at the impact and visits a cricket club that seems to be getting things right in terms of representation. He asks what the county’s cricket club can learn from this model.
Also in this episode Lord Kamlesh Patel the current chairman of Yorkshire shares his thoughts on what’s happened and what’s next for the iconic game. He says Azeem has provided a “once in a generation opportunity” for change. But is that sentiment reflected at a grassroots level?
