LONDON: A hearing into the racism scandal at Yorkshire started on Wednesday, with ex-player Azeem Rafiq set to give evidence more than two years after he made damning allegations over his treatment by the English county cricket club. The initial proceedings were held in private but a live stream of the independent Cricket Discipline Commission panel’s deliberations was set to be broadcast to accredited journalists later in the day. Pakistan-born Rafiq, 32, first raised allegations of racism and bullying in September 2020, related to his two spells at Yorkshire.

Proteas openers Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits have attained career-best positions in the ICC T20I player rankings after helping their team reach their first ICC Women's T20 World Cup final.
The Proteas women have been celebrated as national heroes in the days following their T20 World Cup final defeat to Australia at Newlands, but for star fast bowler Shabnim Ismail, their performance on Sunday was "not good enough".
