Record wicket-taker Majid Haq has called for an inquiry into racism in Scottish cricket as both he and former team-mate Qasim Sheikh revealed they had suffered abuse in their careers.

Haq, 38, represented Scotland on more than 200 occasions but did not play again after being sent home from the 2015 World Cup. At the time, he hinted he felt victimised on grounds of race.

"As an ethnic minority cricketer, you need to perform twice as well as a white counterpart to get the same opportunities," he told BBC Scotland.

"Considering how many Asians play, is there enough representation in the national team? In the age groups it's pretty good but once you get to the higher level they seem to drop away.

"I think Cricket Scotland is trying to do something but there's still a lot to be done. We need an investigation.

"How many ethnic minorities are on the board at Cricket Scotland? How many are on the coaching staff? How many are at the top level umpiring">
