Cricket Is Still Living In A Lot Of Denial Over Racism: Azeem Rafiq

By IANS News January 14, 2022 • 19:02 PM View: 1436

The former Yorkshire player Azeem Rafiq believes that cricket is still living "in a lot of denial" about the problem it faces with racism.

Rafiq blew the whistle on the abuse he suffered at the county across two spells between 2008 and 2018, with the club's initial handling of his allegations heavily criticised and leading to the loss of sponsors and the right to host international matches at their Headingley ground.
