Racism and discrimination is a blight on our game, we are truly sorry: England cricket

A meeting was held on Friday at the Oval between the England & Wales Cricket Board, Marylebone Cricket Club, the Professional Cricketers' Association, the National Counties Cricket Association and the First Class and Recreational County Cricket network.

England's major cricketing bodies collectively apologised on Friday to all those who have suffered racism and discrimination in the game following former Yorkshire cricketer Azeem Rafiq's revelations about the abuse he encountered.

Rafiq told a British parliamentary committee on Tuesday that he had suffered "inhuman" treatment in his time at Yorkshire and described the sport being riddled with racism in England.
