Ex-England captain Michael Vaughan to learn fate over cricket racism hearing on Friday

England cricket icon Michael Vaughan will reportedly discover his fate from the ECB's Cricket Discipline Commission hearing on Friday.

The 16-year Headingley veteran has been the subject of an investigation alleging he racially abused some of his former Yorkshire team-mates towards the end end of his time with Yorkshire in 2009. Vaughan was charged with bringing the game into disrepute by allegedly saying to Azeem Rafiq, Adil Rashid, Ajmal Shahzad and Rana Naved-ul-Hasan "There's too many of you lot, we need to have a word about that."

Vaughan, 48, has vehemently denied the accusation. Meanwhile, Yorkshire have already admitted to four charges as part of the wider case, which included its failure to prevent 'systemic use of racist and/or discriminatory language'. Sky News' Rob Harris reported the findings of the hearing will be made public on Friday.
