Sydney: Big Bash League Club Sydney Thunder plans to stick to Alex’s things even though there is a photo of the British batsman with his face painted black and claiming he called his pet dog ‘Kevin’ as part of a racial degrading joke.
The picture appeared last week after the former Yorkshire player Azeem Rafiq about the final racism of the career he suffered a shock wave through British cricket.
Cricket NSW Chief Executive Lee Germon, who oversees thunder, emphasizes that there is no room for racism or all forms of discrimination in sports.
But he added in a statement on Monday night that the Australian Twenty20 team also had to “accept people who had made a mistake”.
“One of the characteristics of thunder is a team hugging diversity and is a club for all,” he said.
“If we truly believe that we also have to accept people who have made a mistake.” I have talked to Alex, I have witnessed the apology and did not doubt he regretted the photo and other judgment errors he made as a young man.
“Hales has said a blackface photo, which was taken at the New Year’s Eve party in 2009, was just award for his favorite rap artist, Tupac Shakur.
But he admitted it was” disrespectful “and that he” regretted “racism.
This follows Rafiq who tells the committee.
The British parliament that stopped, now named the black dog ‘Kevin’ because of the use of the name Cricketer Gary Trantance as a degrading term.
The accusation pushed the “categorical” rejection of the thing Back for the new season, which began in December.
“I have been told …
He has become an extraordinary teammate and ambassador for Guntur’s ideals and aspirations,” Germon said.
” He understood thunder w ants to give people – including those who are newcomers to Australia – with a sports team that they can identify regardless of their background.
“We want everyone who comes to the Guntur Sydney match to find out that is a safe place, one of their sense of respect and their family.” Hales is a leading running run scorer from the BBL season 2020-21.
He will be connected in a new campaign with former England coach Trevor Bayliss, who has taken Sydney Thunder Reins from Shane Bond.
