English cricketer describes abuse at Yorkshire club

A former English cricketer who was the victim of racist abuse at Yorkshire county cricket club says officials ignored his complaints. Azeem Rafiq fought back tears as he gave evidence to a committee of MPs, saying the abuse by team-mates was humiliating but had been dismissed as "banter". In an hour-long testimony, he said abuse had triggered a sharp drop in British Asian representation in cricket. Freelance cricket writer and broadcaster Adam Collins spoke to Susie Ferguson.
