Interesting to realise that there are only eight black/mixed race English cricketers registered for county-level cricket, and four of them play for Sussex!

They have it wrong: there are four players but Archer's not eligible for England. They missed out Rawlins, who is eligible

I guess they included Jofra on the understanding he *will* qualify for England eventually in 2022.

Do they?

They don't comment on how many are English or English qualified - only that there are four black players.

Sussex have four black players in their first-team squad, more than any other county

Edit - sorry - just seen the side bar list

Here's what it says "Black or mixed-race players eligible for England ..." not who will be eligible. It's really sloppy research given there are only eight names

And still one of very few black / mixed race football managers.

How many are we up to now out of 92 clubs? I'll guess at 3 or 4 tops.

It says 7% here (ca. June 2018), so that's 6.

(6.44 technically, but that's mixed race for you...)

I'm sure this isn't news to you but your posts are very unfunny and now quite unpleasant.

Well done. Your Mum would be very proud.
