Ian Botham launched a scathing attack on David Cameron on Wednesday night and accused him of going back on his word to do more to increase the participation levels of cricket in schools.

Speaking at Lord’s as he delivered the 2014 MCC Spirit of Cricket Cowdrey Lecture, Botham told those in attendance that he urged Cameron and the government to do more to get kids playing cricket and that he was told there would be a meeting in the future to discuss ideas to solve this problem.

But the Prime Minister is yet to get back to the former England captain, despite “making all the right noises” when the two met.
