Former and current England captains criticised in cricket racism hearing

Azeem Rafiq first alleged racial harassment and bullying against Yorkshire CCC and accused them of institutional racism in September last year

Screen grab from Parliament TV of former cricketer Azeem Rafiq crying as he gives evidence at the inquiry into racism he suffered at Yorkshire County Cricket Club at the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) committee on sport governance at Portcullis House in London.

Former cricketer Azeem Rafiq fought back tears as he told MPs the word ‘P**i’ was “used constantly” across his two spells at Yorkshire and no one in leadership challenged it.

Rafiq first alleged racial harassment and bullying against the county and accused them of institutional racism in September last year, with the club launching an investigation soon afterwards.
