Sorry to hear that.He was a very fair and honest journalist and in no way was he a toadie to the cricketing powers that be.
Horrible Harrison and sycophants will be pleased that he is leaving.

He’s the best journo going for me. He’ll find work soon enough I reckon, even if the ECB lobby against it.

Does he have an independent cricket podcast?
If not could be a good idea if he wants independence.

Frightening really when an organisation as powerful as Cricinfo are clearly cowtowing to FTECB.

I bet BCCI or IPL objected to something he wrote

He's clearly upset some people 
Always thought that was the reason Cricket writer's on TV was took off Sky. Use to enjoying watching that

As others have mentioned, best cricket journalist going for me (Athers and Nasser not far behind).
Clearly he's been asked to hold back on certain views be it 'The 100' 'The ECB' 'BCCI' ,but a journalists job is to point out failings to instigate change.
Freedom of speech is a dying breed

Like smoker said, it’s more likely to be BCCI. Given most of their live commentary staff are Indian.

Probably has something to do with his article regarding the 'forfeited' 5th test
I thought it may be the racism at Yorkshire issue. Most of the media have been strangely quiet presumably because of the threat of legal action
Exactly what I was thinking. Perhaps he had more dirt too, which ESPN told him he couldn’t print.
Could be. Either way, it’s another example where I find myself impressed with how Dobell has handled himself. Reckon this one might run and run for a while.

It will be Durham's fault, deduct 24 points, take away next year's ODI v South Africa and make them field with 9 players.
He's going to become Harrison's press officer
