Cricket Scotland apologise after report exposes sexism

LONDON, MAR 12: Cricket Scotlands chief executive apologised on Monday after an independent report found examples of widespread sexism in the sport.
Nine recommendations put forward by human resources firm McKinney, who authored the report, include increased investment in the womens game and a call for more education to address inherent sexism.
"This report is a damning indictment of the treatment of female players and staff within our organisation," said Cricket Scotland chief executive Trudy Lindblade.
"This is completely unacceptable, and I wholeheartedly apologise to every single person who was affected and let down by the governing body. "This report also highlights the huge amount of work that we need to do throughout cricket in Scotland to improve the standing of women and girls within our sport."    â€”AFP
