Just to reiterate, the Knight Riders organisation has ‘zero tolerance’ for any sort of discrimination," KKR CEO Venky Mysore told Cricbuzz. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has cleared its stance against discrimination of any kind and again said that it will discuss how to proceed further on these matters in future as well. “Since we were alerted to offensive tweets last week, a number of historical social media posts by other individuals have been questioned publicly as well," Cricbuzz quoted an ECB spokesperson as saying. “There is no place for discrimination in our sport, and
