The disciplinary hearing into allegations of racism at Yorkshire County Cricket Club is a "terrible look for the game" and is not the right process to investigate the claims, former England captain Michael Vaughan said on Friday.
Michael Vaughan insisted it was "inconceivable" that he would make the racist comment he has been accused of by Azeem Rafiq. Former England captain Vaughan began his defence against an England and Wales Cricket Board charge of using racist and/or discriminatory language in London on Friday.
Azeem Rafiq was questioned over his two versions of former England captain Michael Vaughan's alleged racist comment towards him during a hearing in London on Thursday. Pakistan-born Rafiq, 32, first went public with allegations of racism and bullying in September 2020, related to his two spells at Yorkshire County Cricket Club. He had informed Yorkshire's initial 2021 probe that Vaughan had told Rafiq and three other players before a match: "There's too many of you lot, we need to do something about it."
England head coach Brendon McCullum believes the upcoming IPL will not "jeopardise" Ben Stokes' Ashes return and expressed faith in Chennai Super Kings' medical team to look after the premier all-rounder. Struggling with a recurring left knee injury, the English skipper bowled only nine overs in the two-Test series against New Zealand. He also looked in pain during his knock of 33 in their dramatic one-run defeat here. "I don't think he's jeopardising it (by playing the IPL). The Chennai set-up is excellent in looking after their players and they've a very good medical team and he will be well looked after," McCullum was quoted saying in ESPNCricinfo.
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.
England head home from New Zealand with the rare sting of defeat after the Black Caps' 'Miracle at the Basin' and more than a little concern over the fitness of captain Ben Stokes a few months out from the Ashes.
LONDON: Yorkshire have confirmed documents relating to allegations of racism against the county cricket club were deleted under the previous regime. A Cricket Discipline Commission hearing will start in London next week but no Yorkshire representatives will be present after they admitted to four amended charges brought by the England and Wales Cricket Board over the club’s handling of former player Azeem Rafiq’s allegations.
