 Credit: Getty Images 'Cricket is not a game for everyone' "The stories were absolutely horrific and it goes to show that the culture in cricket is rotten." This damning indictment is from Cindy Butts, who led the two-year investigation into English and Welsh cricket. The long-awaited report found racism, sexism, classism and elitism were widespread. It looked into recreational and professional cricket, and the evidence gathered came from more than 4,000 respondents. Some of the biggest names in the sport gave evidence, including England men's Test captain Ben Stokes and women's captain Heather Knight. However, the report did praise the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for being brave enough to open itself to independent scrutiny. Speaking to BBC Sport, ECB chair Richard Thompson offered a "heartfelt apology" to those who have been "discriminated against and excluded". "We will use this moment to reset cricket,” he added. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | Mutiny leaders want Russia choked in bloody strife - Putin Vladimir Putin appeared on television, briefly but furiously, to speak to the Russian people about the short-lived mutiny by the Wagner group. They’re a private army of mercenaries that have been fighting alongside the regular Russian army in Ukraine. The president vowed to bring the organisers of the revolt "to justice" but he called regular Wagner troops "patriots" and gave them several options. Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin, who is reportedly in Belarus after a deal was struck to halt the revolt, has denied trying to overthrow Mr Putin's regime. | | | | | |

| Putin defiant and fury over new Lawrence suspect A televised address by the Russian president is the lead story in many of the papers. The i newspaper says it was a "fiery, late-night" speech from Vladimir Putin who denounced the leaders of the recent Wagner mutiny. The Times uses one of his lines for its headline: "Russia shall not choke in bloody strife, vows Putin." The Daily Telegraph switches it around and leads with comments from Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the private army who led the aborted advance on Moscow. Its paraphrased headline is: "I could have taken Ukraine in day, says Wagner boss." The Daily Mail leads with the BBC's revelations about a sixth suspect in the 1993 racist murder of Stephen Lawrence. See what else is on the front pages. | | | |
