Man charged after umpire and former Scotland bowler 'racially abused'
A man has been charged after former Scotland cricketer Majid Haq was allegedly racially abused at a match.
The incident reportedly took place when Haq was umpiring a game at Greenock Cricket Club in Inverclyde on Saturday.A Policespokesperson said:"A 63-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with racial abuse which happened in Brisbane Street, Greenock, on Saturday 12 August 2023. "A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal and the man is expected to appear in court at a later date."
Previous allegations from Haq and another former international, Qasim Sheikh, led to an independent review which last year concluded that the governance and leadership practices of Cricket Scotland were institutionally racist. Work has since been undertaken to address the findings and actions which were recommended by the Changing The Boundaries report.
