Michael Vaughan has slammed the whole process surrounding Azeem Rafiq’s accusations that he used racist language, calling it a “terrible look for the game.”
Vaughan answered questions for over an hour under cross examination in London in a bid to clear his name and have the charge against him dismissed. And in addition to pointing to an unblemished record as a player and captain when it came to dealing with others, he lashed out at the way he claimed the whole situation had escalated out of control and had caused too much hurt on both sides.
Vaughan referred in particular to the meeting he had with Rafiq after being charged, in which he explained he had thought a good old-fashioned chat might sort things out.
