I appreciate this is more a response to the thread title rather than the content in the opening post but is the inclusivity problem at a grassroots level less about ethnicity and more about class/income? Relative to most other sports once you get past a softball level cricket probably has a higher cost barrier to playing. But even just with getting children interested in cricket, there's a falling number of state schools in the UK with the right facilities and with the vast majority of cricket being on pay TV it does feel more "exclusive" than say football or rugby.
I think some of the ethnicity arguments are probably more a point at the highest levels of the game but tend to be less overt racism and more to do with inherent power structures.
