AZEEM RAFIQ apologized for using racial insults in an email exchange with a fellow player from 2011.
The former Yorkshire cricketer was widely praised for his courage in exposing the institutionalised racism of the sport.
This week, the 30-year-old cricketer sent shockwaves throughout the sport with his tearful testimony before the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee. He explained how racism destroyed his career.
Michael Vaughan is accused of making a racist remark. He has denied doing so.
Rafiq, however, has issued his own apology after The Times revealed an exchange of emails sent between him and former Leicestershire Cricketer Ateeq Jarvid a decade earlier.
It was believed that they were discussing another Asian Cricketer who, at the time, played for Derbyshire.
They mock him for his unwillingness to pay money to eat out, because “he is a Jew”.
Rafiq jokes, too, that he’ll “probs” go after my seconds again. . . ‘.
