Former England cricket captain Michael Vaughan on Friday denied making racist comments against his ex-teammates from Yorkshire cricket club as accused by Azeem Rafiq. Vaughan told a hearing into accusations of racism at Yorkshire it was "inconceivable" that he would make the comment attributed to him by Rafiq.
Vaughan and a number of other former players at the county cricket club face charges related to the use of racially discriminatory language. Pakistan-born Rafiq, 32, first went public with allegations of racism and bullying in September 2020, related to his two spells at the club.
