So, Surrey wicketkeeper Steven Davies has told the world, via the medium of the Daily Telegraph, that he is gay.
Rereading the original interview this morning, this paragraph caught my eye and surely deserves further exploration:
When Davies, reserve wicketkeeper during the Ashes but a top performer in the Twenty20 games, was dropped from the England squad for the current World Cup – in favour of Matt Prior – some cricket insiders suspected it was related to his coming out.
Is this true? Who are these ‘cricket insiders’? Either the Telegraph is telling a fib here, or cricket isn’t quite as accepting as we have been led to believe.
I go for the former.
