Michael Vaughan will once again be the face of the BBC’s cricket coverage after signing a new two-year contract with the broadcaster.
Vaughan was dropped by the BBC 18 months ago after being accused of making racist remarks while playing for Yorkshire in 2009. Azeem Rafiq alleged that the former England Test captain said "there's too many of you lot, we need to do something about that" to three Asian players.
The 48-year-old was cleared by a Cricket Discipline Commission panel earlier this year. The allegation was not proven after the commission highlighted “significant inconsistencies” in evidence from two key witnesses – Rafiq and Adil Rashid – regarding the exact wording of Vaughan’s alleged comment.
