Ex-England duo Tim Bresnan and Matthew Hoggard learn punishment in Yorkshire racism scandal

Ex-England stars Matthew Hoggard and Tim Bresnan have both been fined and reprimanded by the Independent Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC).

The two bowlers played at Yorkshire with Azeem Rafiq, who raised serious issues of racism, that eventually saw him appear before the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to give evidence. Several individuals who represented Yorkshire were later questioned regarding Rafiq's allegations.

Bresnan and Hoggard were among five men to be involved in a disciplinary hearing back in March and were found to have "breached ECB Directive 3.3 for their alleged use of racist and/or discriminatory language" - Richard Pyrah, Andrew Gale and John Blain have also been reprimanded.
