Cricket Scotland probe as board member apologises over ‘P’ word

Mr Ali was also involved with the campaign group, Running out Racism, who have called for an urgent investigation.

A spokesperson for the group said: “We have been made aware of the historic tweets circulating in relation to Cricket Scotland board member and WDCU (Western District Cricket Union) chair Khizar Ali, from 2012 which include comments regarding various racialised communities.

“This includes racially offensive terms, such as the P word on numerous occasions.

“Running Out Racism members are surprised, dismayed and feel incredibly let down that someone we’ve a huge amount of respect for would use such words, in any context, at any point in history.

“This has caused upset and anger with some we support and represent, it is difficult at this stage to work beyond how people feel in the immediate term.

“However we do acknowledge Khizar’s willingness to proactively own this, and appreciate the conversations he’s engaged in directly with us and many others regarding these messages. “
