Yorkshire Admit Ex-Player Azeem Rafiq Was Victim Of 'Racial Harassment & Bullying'

By IANS News September 10, 2021 • 23:36 PM View: 2022

England county cricket club Yorkshire has acknowledged that former player Azeem Rafiq was a victim of 'racial harassment and bullying'. It also said that it is not possible to determine conclusively about institutional racism within the club and have maintained they won't publish the full report.

Last year, Rafiq, a former England U-19 captain, made serious allegations over his time at Yorkshire, saying that the 'institutional racism' at the club almost made him take his own life. After this, the club commissioned an independent panel to investigate Rafiq's claims. An eight-page summary of an independent panel's findings and recommendations was finally published on Friday, just after the fifth Test between England and India was cancelled in Manchester due to Covid-19 scare in the tourist's camp.
