Joe Root, a Yorkshire player, said he had never personally witnessed incidents of racism at the club
Former Yorkshire spinner Azeem Rafiq said he was "incredibly hurt" after England Test captain Joe Root, a Yorkshire player, told reporters on Thursday that he had never personally witnessed incidents of racism at the club.
Rafiq said he was subjected to racism while he was a Yorkshire player between 2008 and 2018 but an inquiry found the conduct did not warrant any disciplinary action.
"Not that I can recall (if incidents of racism occurred), no I can't. But it is clear things have happened at the club and we have to make sure we eradicate it," Root said.
