Happy Windrush Day ❤️🙌🏾 Celebrating the arrival of The Empire Windrush landing in 1948 with people from the Caribbean who were in invited to help rebuild the UK after World War ll. Thank you to the community for contribution. 🖤🙌🏾
What in incredible day receiving my MBE 🎖 today at Windsor Castle from HRH Prince Charles. Momma loved it too! Absolutely honoured 😎🙏🏾
What a tough time for Aussie cricket. Sending lots of love ❤️❤️❤️
Honestly these outdated views in the game are exactly why we are in this position. Unfortunately the decision makers hold onto these myths. ‘The Black community only like football, and asian community only interested in education’ Seriously the game deserves better.

1. I cannot believe what I have just witnessed. Absolutely horric scenes at Oxford Circus and I just watched a man fall under the tube 2m in front of me. this is UNACCEPTABLE that in one of the most sophisticated cities in the world stations are allowed to get this RAMMED ..
When you hear the news the Women’s IPL sold for £465 million 👀…
Please take time to listen to this and summed up brilliantly. Today not the day for this to be report and swept under the carpet and needs a thorough examination. been through it over the last year and deserves to be given the air time this needs.

Azeem Rafiq deserved his own day after what he's been through.
@nassercricket and @Athersmike discuss the report confirming Azeem Rafiq was 'victim of racial harassment and bullying' during his time at Yorkshire - and the timing of its release by the club.
A lot of swagger in this clip! 🔥

Reading this is depressing. Azeem should NEVER have to have dealt with this. If we want a game that is genuinely for all, then we also need to acknowledge where we have gone wrong & take the right actions to address head on. This situation needs external intervention ASAP

It has been an absolute joy working with over the last few years. Sad to see him hang up his boots but he has bought a lot of joy to a lot of people. Will be missed in the comm box ❤️

Last year former West Indies cricketer Michael Holding gave a powerful speech about black lives matter and he has now written a book, inspired by the racist abuse he has received.
There are some chapters of the book that he can't read back because they're so emotional.

Great to see Stuart Broad taking the time to have a long long long long long chat to 23yr old West Indian fast Keon Harding. And all this on the morning that Broad stood on 499 test wickets at the start of play
Sheila Sharmin bowling left & right handed for Bangladesh in the same over. Not seen this before with my own eyes in international cricket!
Warner this not going well! 🙈🙈🙈 Repeating the same thing and not answering the questions is not winning the hearts and minds of the public.
Wow ... how twitter pulls out the trolls and dinosaurs from the trenches 😆... Hope you treat the females in your life with more respect. Anyway back to the cricket and much more important things ...
