Azeem Rafiq is set to be subject of an ECB investigation after accusations of using homophobic and antisemitic language, as well as fat-shaming children, were made against the former cricketer.
Rafiq has become a prominent anti-racism campaigner after speaking out on the racial abuse he received during his time at Yorkshire, but has now been forced to deny new allegations against himself, which he has dismissed as a 'co-ordinated campaign of lies'.
Former spinner Rafiq had been found a 'victim of racial harassment' at Yorkshire, according to an independent report that was commissioned by the county. The racism scandal triggered huge changes in both structure and personnel at Headingley.
