London, June 13: The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has admitted that cricket is "not immune" to racism and thus have pledged to change things for the better in the near future.

Many cricketers across the global sports community, including former England cricketer Michael Carberry and current pacer James Anderson, have come out in open and talked about racism prevalent in the sport. All these voices have been growing following the killing of George Floyd, an African-American who died in police custody in the United States last month.
