England vs India: Second T20I at Edgbaston will have undercover crowd spotters to combat racism

The second T20I match will have 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 suffered racial abuse by an English during the fifth Test match between England and India.

The racial insults issues during the Edgbaston Test were initially highlighted on Twitter by Azeem Rafiq, the former Yorkshire cricketer, which subsequently led to a criminal investigation by West Midlands Police.

“Nearly 100,000 people watched one of the most exciting Test matches in recent history earlier this week. But we cannot hide from the mindless racist abuse experienced by some fans following India in the Eric Hollies Stand,” Stuart Cain, Warwickshire’s chief executive, said.

“These unacceptable actions by a small number of people have over-shadowed a superb sporting contest, and those responsible do not deserve to be part of the cricket family. We need to work harder as people, as well as a venue, to take responsibility for ensuring that everyone feels safe and welcome when watching the game,” he added.

Warwickshire, who are going to host — this week’s T20I against India, next week’s Vitality Blast Finals Day and ground’s staging of the women’s T20 competition at the Commonwealth Games in an exceedingly busy mont acknowledged in a statement that its “zero-tolerance” approach to stewarding “in isolated areas hadn’t been delivered”.
