Former Yorkshire bowler and coach Rich Pyrah has become the latest individual to withdraw from the ECB's disciplinary process into Azeem Rafiq's allegations of racism.
Pyrah joins Matthew Hoggard, Tim Bresnan, John Blain and Andrew Gale in refusing to attend their Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) hearings, which will take place between March 1 and March 9.
The ECB charged seven individuals in relation to Rafiq's allegations, but only former England captain Michael Vaughan is set to attend his hearing. Gale refused to engage with the process from the start, while Hoggard, Bresnan and Blain withdrew last week.
