England Test captain Ben Stokes has reacted to the racial abuse suffered by an Indian fan during the fifth Test India. Stokes said that he wants a party atmosphere in the stands when India play England in the white ball series of the tour.
“Amazing week on the pitch but really disappointed to hear reports of racist abuse at Edgbaston. Absolutely no place for it in the game. Hope all the fans at the white-ball series have a brilliant time and create a party atmosphere. That’s what cricket’s about!!” he wrote on Twitter.
The second T20I between England and India, which is set to be played at Edgbaston on Saturday, will be monitored by “undercover football crowd-style spotters”, after Warwickshire County Cricket Club on Thursday unveiled a series of new measures to combat the instances of racist abuse.
An Indian fan named Anil Sehmi reported the incident on Day 4 of the rescheduled match.
