Cricket Wellington have launched an investigation into a racial abuse incident after a premier club match was abandoned over the weekend.
The match between Victoria University and Naenae was abandoned after the University players refused to resume play after a break at Naenae Park after one of their batsmen was abused by a Naenae player when he was dismissed.
Cricket Wellington chief executive Cam Mitchell confirmed it had been made aware of " a serious incident of racism" in a club match at the weekend.
"CW takes incidents of racism and discrimination extremely seriously and has begun a thorough investigation into the incident and will release the results of the investigation in due course," he said.
