England’s Adil Rashid has confirmed he heard former Test captain Michael Vaughan question the number of Asian players in the Yorkshire team, supporting an accusation made by an ex-teammate who branded the club institutionally racist.
Former player Azeem Rafiq was found by an independent report to have been subject to racial harassment and bullying, with Yorkshire’s chairman and then chief executive resigning in the fall-out.
Rashid issued a statement on Monday via the Cricketer website, echoing Rafiq’s claims against Vaughan, who also used to play for Yorkshire, related to a match in 2009.
The ex-England skipper revealed earlier that he had been named in the investigation into Rafiq’s case but denies telling a group of teammates of Asian ethnicity: “Too many of you lot, we need to do something about it”.
