Former cricketer Azeem Rafiq, who testified about his experiences of being subjected to racism while playing for Yorkshire County Cricket Club (YCCC) before a UK parliamentary panel on Tuesday, has apologized for unspecified comments he says he made in 2011.
Shortly before Rafiq's apology, a screenshot of messages that appeared to involve Rafiq making antisemitic comments ten years ago had been shared. Rafiq, 30, says he made derogatory comments on social media when he was a teenager and is a "different person today."
Rafiq tweeted on Thursday: "I was sent an image of this exchange from early 2011 today. I have gone back to check my account and it is me - I have absolutely no excuses.
