The BBC have announced that Michael Vaughan will return to their cricket coverage later today on the 5 Live Cricket Programme.
Vaughan was stood down from his role as a cricket commentator and pundit by the BBC in November and did not feature in their coverage of the Ashes after he was implicated in the Yorkshire racism scandal. Azeem Rafiq, who played alongside Vaughan at Yorkshire, accused the former England captain of making a racially insensitive remark to a group of Asian players during a match in 2009.
It was alleged that Vaughan told the players: "There are too many of you lot, we need to do something about it." Former Yorkshire overseas player Rana Naved-ul-Hasan and current England star Adil Rashid have both backed up Rafiq's allegations. However, Vaughan has categorically and repeatedly denied the allegation.
