The former Yorkshire chairmen Roger Hutton and Robin Smith have been heavily criticised for, respectively, failing to co-operate with the Professional Cricketers’ Association’s initial investigation into the racist abuse described by Azeem Rafiq, and for holding up progress.
In a meeting of the the digital, culture, media and sport select committee Julian Metherell, the PCA’s non-executive chairman, accused Hutton, who resigned as Yorkshire’s chairman last November, of failing to respond to repeated attempts to make contact before eventually providing “nothing that was in any way helpful”.
