Northumbria Police first received the allegations about ex-Durham coach and scout Michael Strange’s abuse of young cricketers in November 2004.

But officers did not inform the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) until July 2005 - even though Strange had been arrested in May.

The Mail reports that cops changed the date Strange was arrested three times when quizzed about their handling of the case.

Strange was jailed for six years in 2012 for abusing young cricketers across the North East.

    That makes sense. I just realised the NSFW tag doesn’t filter out the title, either, which is what I thought could be triggering.

      to be fair, much of anything under ACAB is NSFW and possibly triggering due to the nature of what these pigs know that they can get away with.
