Michael Carberry recalls racism he faced in County Cricket

Speaking about racism in County Cricket, Michael Carberry has said that he was pushed out of the county club after calling out the coach for racism.

He said that many non-white cricketers do not raise their voice against the discrimination they face due to the repercussion they might have to go through.

Talking on the Cricket Badger podcast, Carberry said, “If you ask Moeen [Ali] and Rash [Adil Rashid] about their issues in the game, understandably they are not going to come out and say because they are in the set-up.”

He said that this is the decision most Black people and people of colour have to make all the time. “This thing is eating you inside every single day with what you hear in dressing rooms, what you see, the stuff people get away with and say to you,” he added.

Carberry explained in detail how people in the dressing room would react if non-white people call out racist comments. ” If you rub that person up the wrong way, that’s you done, that’s your career done. Everything you’ve worked towards, you’re done. Things circulate. ‘Carberry’s a bit fiery. The temperamental Black man. The angry Black man.’,” he said.

Recalling an incident from an unnamed county club that he played for, Carberry said that calling out the coach for racism was the final nail in the coffin to remove him from the club.

“I had to drag him(coach) out on the balcony and say ‘Listen, let me ask you, something mate. How much time have you spent in Black company?’ And he literally wet his pants. He literally hung his head like a little child. Bear in mind, I’m putting my career [on the line], and it probably ended up being the final nail in my coffin in that club.”
