Cricket Scotland has appointed two new board members as it tries to turn its reputation around after a damning report found it to be institutionally racist.
The sporting body was plunged into special measures earlier this year when it failed 29 out of 31 indicators of institutional racism and only partially passed the other two – with its entire board quitting and two ex-players telling of their ordeal while they were in the Scotland team.
But, on Friday, Cricket Scotland announced governance expert Anne-Marie Garner and inclusion specialist Ajit Trivedi would join the board as the body tries to salvage its reputation.
Anjan Luthra, the new chairman of Cricket Scotland, described their appointments as “hugely important” but said it was “only the start of a longer-term process”.
“Their appointments represent a major step forward in terms of creating a skilled and truly diverse board that will forge a new future for our sport,” he said.
