Davies praised for honestyThere has never been a better time for an England cricketer to pronounce himself a gay man. That is not to make light of Steven Davies's courage. For him to come out with most of his cricketing career ahead of him remains a groundbreaking moment. Here is a statement that professional team sport in Britain has matured, and if it has not, well it will just have to get on with it.
Davies has been set upon announcing that he is gay for some months. All that has been at issue has been when and how. Midway through the Ashes series was universally agreed not to be a very good idea. But while he has agonised about the detail, the chilled-out support of the England dressing room has helped to stiffen his resolve.
