Under-19 team members use ‘inappropriate language’Cricket Australia investigate players’ social media postsSome members of Australia’s Under-19
World Cup squad face
sanctions for comments on social media that have been branded as casual racism.
Cricket Australia’s head of integrity and security Sean Carroll has spoken with those players who recently posted broken-English responses to an
Instagram post.
“We are extremely disappointed that some of the
Australian Under-19 squad members have used inappropriate language in posts on social media, which we reported to the ICC as soon as it came to our attention,” Carroll said in a statement. “Some of that language could be interpreted as ridiculing non-native English language speakers.”
