Yorkshire racism enquiry could see stand-off between Azeem Rafiq and Michael Vaughan

The ECB's disciplinary process into allegations of racism at Yorkshire has seen a number of those charged pull out.

Seven individuals were charged over allegations made by former spinner Azeem Rafiq, but four of those have withdrawn from the process. Former Yorkshire captain and coach Andrew Gale refused to engage with it from the outset, calling the ECB's process "tainted".

Ex-England internationals Tim Bresnan and Matthew Hoggard withdrew on Friday, along with former Scotland bowler and Yorkshire second team coach John Blain. Hoggard claimed the ECB had "failed everybody", while Bresnan said he felt he had been "charged and tried without even being arrested".
