The ECB are reportedly investigating historic claims a 'high-profile' England cricketer used a racial slur towards a former county teammate multiple times.
According to a report from the Daily Mail, the player is alleged to have called his teammate a "P***" in several incidents spanning 2014-2016. The claims have been reported to the ECB and the report states their investigation 'started in the last three weeks and they are contacting witnesses'.
The player is alleged to have been 'reprimanded by a well-known senior player' after using the slur during a game of football in training. An ECB spokesman said: "We do not comment on who is or isn't the subject of ECB investigations in situations such as this."
