The head of anti racism group Kick It Out has criticised the cricket establishment’s response to the racism storm over Azeem Rafiq, urging the sport’s authorities to do more to protect whistleblowers who come forward with claims of abuse.
Giving evidence to MPs on the Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee on Tuesday, Kick It Out chief executive Tony Burnett said the treament of Rafiq since he went public last year with his claims of racist abuse at Yorkshire had been “horrific”.
