English cricket is ‘institutionally’ racist says former Yorkshire player – BBC News


Former Yorkshire cricket player Azeem Rafiq told a Digital, Culture, Media and Sport select committee that racist language was "constantly" used during his time there.

In an emotional testimony, he said the club gave him "inhuman" treatment after his son was still-born in 2017.

He added the issues he faced at Yorkshire are "without a shadow of a doubt" widespread in domestic cricket.

Rafiq said he had lost his career to racism, which is a "horrible feeling" but that "hopefully" by speaking out there will be "massive change in five years’ time".
