Azeem Rafiq considering leaving England after abuse and intimidation following Yorkshire racism revelations

India Today  

Former Yorkshire cricketer Azeem Rafiq is considering moving out of England to protect his family from facing hate attacks following his revelations in the racism row that led to a massive shake-up in English cricket. Notably, Rafiq opened up about an "institutionally racist culture" at Yorkshire in 2020, including by former England players. The cricketer, whose family moved to the UK from Pakistan after a business partner of his father was murdered following a bungled kidnapping attempt, is being subjected to abuse and threats, reported 'Cricketer.com'. Rafiq and four others were recently reprimanded by the England Cricket Discipline Commission for use of "anti-Semitic language" on social media in 2011.
