LONDON: England's cricket bosses Friday committed to a wide-ranging action plan to tackle racism and promote inclusion and diversity at all levels of the game. The developments have come as a response to the "earthquake" that has hit cricket in the wake of the "Azeem Rafiq scandal". 

The plan has been developed jointly by the ECB, MCC, the PCA, NCCA Ltd, the First Class Counties, Women’s Regional Hosts and the Recreational County Cricket network, as a game-wide response to discrimination within the game.
