Luthra claimed recently that they have made "significant progress" in tackling racism according to the BBC, but has now stepped down as he disagreed with the way Sportscotland was running the country's cricket.

He believed that their priority was to meet the needs for a lobby group and their associates, instead of the entire community, which was against his vision.

Campaign group Running out Racism claimed that the claims of "significant progress" was false, which also led to four members of the anti-racism working group quitting due to lack of progress, including Scotland women's international Abtaha Maqsood, businessman Imran Khan, academic Khadija Mohammed and Raza Sadiq,

The Change the Boundaries report, which had all the findings of racism within Scottish Cricket, was not utilised correctly according to Luthra, as he says that Cricket Scotland would "likely cease to exist" if it did.

Running Out Racism expressed disappointment that Luthra resigned as they attempted to convince him to change his approach.

"People make mistakes, but to blame others rather than owning them in any way is disappointing," the organisation said.

Sportscotland and Cricket Scotland thanked Luthra for his efforts in "an exceptionally challenging time", as they look to hire an interim chief executive for the time being.

"The cricket season is less than four weeks away and there is much to be done, and the team remain fully focused on delivery in all areas," Sportsscotland said in a statement.

Testimonies by former Scotland cricketers Majid Haq and former international teammate Qasim Sheikh prompted an independent review which highlighted 448 examples of institutional racism within Cricket Scotland.

An anti-racism group was formed last year after the allegations surfaced, while the full Cricket Scotland Board stepped down prior to the publication of the review.
