Former England international Tim Bresnan has been accused of making a vile racial slur about the sister of ex-Yorkshire teammate Azeem Rafiq as an investigation into institutional racism in the sport continues.
The public Cricket Discipline Commission hearing began on Wednesday with allegations against former Yorkshire trio Tim Bresnan, Matthew Hoggard and John Blain heard on day one. All three have denied bringing the game into disrepute and using racial slurs.
Bresnan, 38, - who spent 18 years as a professional at Yorkshire - has been accused of using discriminatory language to describe Rafiq’s sister at a Yorkshire media day back in 2014. It is alleged he referred to Rafiq's sister as a "fit p***".
