Stephen Sackur speaks to Michael Holding, the former West Indies cricketer who is now a prominent voice against racism, an issue confronting many sports. Is...

But i want to talk about your sport, cricket, and your experience. sure. do you think it has progressed? fundamentally changed from the way it was and the way racism worked in cricket in the �*70s and �*80s? well, i dont know... i dont know if you could say progressed, because i dont think cricket basically has changed a lot. im a little bit worried about the image that cricket has here in england, not necessarily around the world. i think perhaps cricket is a little bit peculiar because peo...

Educating the society... now... people... sorry, go on. people keep on telling me, "oh, what should cricket do? what should football do?" you do whatever you think you need to do, cricketers or footballers or whatever sport you play in. because if society isnt fixed, stephen, nothing will be fixed. the people who play sport, the people who administer sport, the people who watch sport, they come from the society. so, if the society is fixed, if they are all educated to understand that we are all ...

Of what they say to heart. im sorry that theyd have that sort of response and they have that sort of thinking, because they are the policy—makers and they are very important people in any society. but, to be honest, i cannot be shocked by anything that they say. what do you make of the young sportspeople who speak out very clear and very loud right now against what they see as persistent racism in society and in sport, and also use their platform to deliver social messages? im thinking of marc...

So, why cant cricket as a sport and as an organisation, the people that run cricket, take it upon themselves and say, "this is something that we believe in. we believe black lives matter." forget the political side and political organisation. "we believe in three words — black lives matter." everyone takes a knee in respect of that. thats a gesture that is known and respected throughout the world to support black lives matter. and then they cant do it...? yeah, well, thats fascinating, cos the...

To people who spoke out. i think the climate is right now, the atmosphere�*s good right now for people to speak out and not be punished and not be ostracised. your message appears to be that, rather than as a sportsman focusing on whats happening in the sports arena, it is much more useful to think bigger picture and to go much deeper and to focus more than anything else on education. educating the society... now... people... sorry, go on. people keep on telling me, "oh, what should cricket do...

Something else if i didnt play cricket, but it definitely made me what i am. "..is letting me down personally." and i take it very personal. because when the england team can say, officially, stephen, notjust by rumour, officially put out a press release that they only took the knee in respect of their visitors, what that tells me, if their visitors was a white team, they would not have done it. so, why cant cricket as a sport and as an organisation, the people that run cricket, take it upon the...

Because he is the black fast bowler in that team. yes, yes. yep. when you heard the british home secretary saying that she felt taking the knee was, to use her phrase, "nothing but gesture politics..." "gesture politics." ..how did you feel about that? well, stephen, ill tell you, i dont have a lot of respect for a lot of politicians, so itjust goes over my head. i am not one to take too much of what they say to heart. im sorry that theyd have that sort of response and they have that sort of thi...
