Yorkshire racism: Adil Rashid backs Azeem Rafiq’s allegation against Michael Vaughan
India Today
England cricketer Adil Rashid has backed up allegations that former national captain Michael Vaughan used racially insensitive comments towards a group of players of Asian ethnicity at county club Yorkshire.
England leg-spinner Adil Rashid confirmed that he heard Michael Vaughan question the number of players of Asian heritage turning out for Yorkshire in 2009.
Vaughan has denied the allegation — made by former Yorkshire player Azeem Rafiq in a report into what he described as a culture of racism at the club — that he once said about the inclusion of four players of Asian heritage in the lineup in 2009: “There are too many of you lot; we need to do something about it.”
