Yorkshire slapped with heavy points deduction over Azeem Rafique racism scandal
Hindustan TimesYorkshire County Cricket Club has been sent to the bottom of Division Two of the County Championship after on Friday being slapped with a whopping 48-point deduction. The deduction comes after the club admitted to four charges related to the Azeem Rafiq racism scandal. Former England Under-19s captain Rafique told a British parliamentary committee in 2021 of "inhuman" treatment at Yorkshire "The CDC and ECB have today acknowledged the vast amount of work done by YCCC to overcome the cultural issues that existed within the club, which allowed racist and discriminatory behaviour to go unchallenged," said the Yorkshire board in its statement. The former England Under-19s captain then told a British parliamentary committee in 2021 of "inhuman" treatment at Yorkshire and said he had been a victim of institutional racism at the club. Separately, a damning report by the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket last month revealed "widespread" racism, sexism and classism in English cricket.
