Following the conclusion of England’s fifth and final rescheduled Test match against India at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham, a man was arrested by West Midlands Police on suspicion of a racially aggravating public order offence. The step was taken after fans accused the Edgbaston crowd of passing racial slurs and showcasing abusive behaviour, during the Test match.
