Complaint investigated

Cricket: The Hawke's Bay Cricket Association has appointed an independent commissioner to investigate a complaint which involves its chief executive's son.

The HBCA has received a complaint from Western Districts Auckland Blue XI, which included players of Indian, Sri Lankan and Pakistani heritage.

The Auckland Blue XI was involved in a twenty20 game against a Napier Tech year 1113 side last Thursday that was called off after an umpire deemed a comment made by a Napier Tech player was racially offensive. — The New Zealand Herald
