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.

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.
