In a statement, Haq said the last 11 years “have been some of the hardest of my life”.

He added: “My experiences, particularly those during my playing career, and the subsequent backlash and abuse for speaking about them has come at great personal cost to me and my family.

“By withdrawing my court action, I have committed to enabling Cricket Scotland to take the steps they’ve outlined in their commitments and equality, diversity and inclusion plans, external to make our sport inclusive and safe for all that participate.

“Nothing can change the experience of the past or restore experiences lost. I have had to learn to live with an unsought role as a figurehead for this issue with the unwanted negativity.

“I can only hope that over time that can change too, and we can all move forward together to play our role in leading cricket’s growth in Scotland.”
