Lord Patel admits some at Yorkshire believe "nothing was wrong" despite racism scandal

Amid his claims, he described how former captain Gary Ballance used the name 'Kevin' in a derogatory manner to refer to those of black and Asian backgrounds. The all-rounder also broke down in tears as he described how Martyn Moxon, then director of cricket, "ripped shreds off me" when he returned to work after the stillbirth of his son in 2017.
