'All that’s really changed is me and my family have been driven out of the country'
Former Yorkshire County Cricket Club cricketer Azeem Rafiq in front of the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee at the House of CommonsEditor James Mitchinson said he denies the “scurrilous and unfounded allegations” and the newspaper has been “seeking to tell all sides of the story” with “objectivity, impartiality and professionalism”.
During the hearing, he criticised the England and Wales Cricket Board for failing to take action and accused the organisation of planting false stories about him in the press.Lord Patel told the committee that he has been working to make “wholesale changes” to the club since he was appointed in November last year, but he has also been targeted by racial abuse and threats.
Cricket journalist George Dobell said “the game isn’t serious” about tackling racism as most of the people in charge are resistant to change.“The only thing that will make them change is media pressure and new people. They’ve had their opportunity,” he added.
