Former England bowlers Matthew Hoggard and Tim Bresnan have withdrawn from the disciplinary hearing into allegations of racism at Yorkshire.
Hoggard and Bresnan were both accused of making racist comments by their former Yorkshire teammate Azeem Rafiq, who was found by an independent report to have been a victim of "racial harassment and bullying" during his time at the club.
Rafiq alleged Hoggard used racist slurs towards Asian players "on a daily basis", while Bresnan was also accused of "frequently making racist comments". Rafiq added that Hoggard had called him to apologise for making certain comments, while Bresnan has categorically denied the allegations of racism.
