New MCC President says ICEC report on discrimination in cricket ‘not deep rooted’
Mark Nicholas (Rugby school) former Hampshire cricket captain, commentator and friend of Mick Jagger has been appointed as MCC President, replacing Stephen Fry whose term of office has concluded.
The news is reported in the Telegraph together with a large number of readers comments calling Nicholas ‘Woke’.
Nicholas has three stepson who went to Eton but thinks its time for Eton v Harrow at Lords to end and for cricket to move on. He argues that the tradition has no relevance to the modern game.
On the recent ICEC report into English and Welsh cricket he is more equivocal. He is clearly sympathetic to Ian Botham’s view that he didn’t encounter issues of discrimination and feels that what issues there are, are not deep rooted. Or things can only get better. It doesn’t seem very Woke to me but this is the Telegraph
