THE sight of Kunwar Bansil, one of the 16 people sacked by Yorkshire during the winter and now part of the Notts backroom team, chatting to several of the home players and staff prior to last night’s game was a poignant reminder of what has taken place here these last few months.

A penny for Bansil’s thoughts as he stood beside the boundary in front of the pavilion, enjoying the company of former colleagues and friends and looking around a stadium that must have seemed so familiar to him but so different too, with “Clean Slate” branding everywhere and the club unrecognisable from the one to which he gave more than eight years’ service as lead physiotherapist.

That Bansil and others dismissed in the wake of the racism crisis such as Pete Sim, the Worcestershire strength and conditioning coach, immediately found positions back in the game tells you everything you need to know and perhaps one day the full story of these and other events will be able to come out.
