Azeem Rafiq has hit back at his former Yorkshire teammate Tim Bresnan after he issued a fresh denial of allegations that he had been racist towards Rafiq.
While testifying in front of a DCMS select committee, Rafiq said Bresnan had "frequently made racist comments" during their time together at Yorkshire.
Rafiq also said he was among a group of players who filed a bullying complaint against the former England star.
At the time, Bresnan denied making racist comments but did apologise for "contributing to Azeem Rafiq's experience of feeling bullied at Yorkshire".
Earlier this week, the newly-retired Bresnan issued another denial of Rafiq's allegations in an interview with the Daily Mail.
"There is a good chance that I've walked into a dressing room and said, 'all right ledge, you had a good Christmas,' with a glance at the extra timber when we've come back for New Year's training," Bresnan said.
"Something of that nature. We've all done that. But I 100% deny that I've ever been racist. I will never admit to that. And so, I cannot apologise for it.
"To be accused of it disappointed me and being instructed not to say anything by solicitors and clubs who were basically trying to protect themselves, all felt wrong to me."
Rafiq has now responded to Bresnan's comments on social media, tweeting: "There’s probably a lot I can and will respond to on this. From apology none apologies to some stuff in here.
"But I can talk about 'what’s wrong'. It’s when you don’t get a job or opportunity because of your race or religion. It’s heartbreaking and shatters confidence."
Rafiq then posted a follow-up tweet, adding: "The more I read this the more it triggers me. The way bullying has been downplayed is not acceptable either.
"Probably would have denied that 100% too if their hadn’t been paper record of it."
