David Lloyd apologises for comments on Asian players

The Hindu  

Cricket commentator David Lloyd has apologised after Azeem Rafiq told a British parliamentary committee that the former England coach had made disparaging comments about Asian cricketers. In Tuesday’s distressing testimony, Rafiq, 30, catalogued a culture of widespread racism at his county club Yorkshire, describing the “inhuman” treatment he had received. Rafiq testified that members of the media was also guilty of racism and identified Lloyd, now a Sky Sports pundit, as messaging others in the media and saying: “a clubhouse is the lifeblood of a club and Asian players don’t go in there.” “In October 2020, I had a private message exchange with a third party involved in cricket, about a number of topics,” Lloyd said in a statement on Twitter on Tuesday. It is very obvious now that more work needs to be done and I will do everything I can to remove discrimination from the sport I love, and the sport that has been my life for over 50 years.” In his testimony, Rafiq said he found Lloyd’s comments “disturbing” as his employer Sky was doing “amazing work on bringing racism to the front,” describing the 74-year-old as “closet racist.” Sky said it would be investigating Lloyd’s comments.
