Sportscotland ordered an independent inquiry after numerous complaints from within the game.

Sportscotland, which is run on Scottish government and National Lottery funding, provided over £500,000 to Cricket Scotland between 2019 and 2020.

It has pledged to provide follow-up support to those who discuss their experiences of racism as part of the review. Significant changes have already been made to the Cricket Scotland board, with a new interim chair and interim chief executive now in place. Plan4Sport previously said "racism and racial discrimination can take many forms" and "it doesn't matter if you believe your experience is in some way too small or insignificant".

"All contacts and disclosures will be treated in full confidence and will not be shared with anyone directly involved in cricket," they added.
