ENGLAND bowler Chris Jordan respects South Africa’s decision not to take a knee in the forthcoming series but believes the action does have an impact in the fight against racial inequality.

Proteas head coach Mark Boucher revealed this week that his team do not intend to perform the act of solidarity ahead of the three international T20 matches and three one-day internationals.

Barbados-born Jordan says that racial inequality remains a pressing matter among England’s diverse squad and he is “open minded” about finding ways to tackle the issue.
